Believe this : A recent University study found that the average father in America spends less than sixty seconds per day in conversations with his children!
47 seconds per day will be the accurate number.
What happened nowadays? Fathers should be the one who love their children and want the best for them all the time. Think about it. Are you as a father too focused on your work? Are you as a father too focused on your paychecks? Don't always misunderstand that your child really just need your money.
Your kids should be the major priority in your life! Look in their eyes and talk with them. Be involved in raising them, teaching them, and shaping their character and moral values. Parenting is a "hands on" activity. Do these things on purpose, with a plan and aim on the goal.
Spend time with your kids. Be available for your kids. Success doesn't only depends on how much money you earn, or how much status you attain in your profession. Be a part of your child's world and help him/her in the spiritual growth and building their personalities.
From now onwards, be the role model for your children and spend more than 47 seconds each day in conversation with your children. You must be caring about them in order to learn good parenting skills so that things can get much easier when time goes by. Many parents do regret when their child turns bad due to lack of attention. I am sure this is the last thing you want to happen.
Having a child is like having an added responsibility and I know it is hard. However, if I ask you to talk to your child for more than 50 seconds daily, will you be saying no because it is too much to ask from you? Think about it. I am sure your child will like you more if you talk to him more often.
