Today, most of our parents are busy. They go to work almost
every day from morning until night (sometime they go abroad or out of town). They
do not have enough time to play or even meet their children. They go to work
when their children still sleep and come back home when they (again) on the
bedroom already.

On the other hand, children want to share what they have
done at school or their favorite friends or teachers but parents are not there.
Some of parents nowadays, they leave their sons or daughters with nanny.
That condition causes
a gap between parents and their children. The children will not have any chance
to share their experiences, their feelings, their emotions. Then parents will
be too late to realize that their children need more than money and nanny.
It won’t be happen if
parents start to have quality time with the children.
First, appreciate their works or their art works. It will be
their pleasure even parents just say “nice works darling”, etc because they
need compliment that motivates them. Compliments make them want to give the
best for parents on the next day.
Second, try to spend quality time to play with the children
or if parents are too tired to play at least talk and ask them what they were
doing at school or their activities during the day. They love to talk and tell
what they have done at school, as long as parents give their ‘ears’ to ‘HEAR’ their
sons or daughters. Be a good listener ;)
Third, be on their bedroom to say goodnight before they go
to sleep, kiss them and say “love you”. If possible, parents can lead their
sons or daughter to pray before they sleep and ask them to take turn on the
next day.
Slow but sure, children will have the feeling “my parents
love me lot, so why should I be so introvert? I will share my feelings or
activities today”.
Start to do, before it is too late to start.
Goodluck.
