We recognize that families and parents in particular have hectic lives. Our to-do lists become longer and other obligations take precedence over spending quality time with our loved ones. On some days, taking care of our kids’ needs consumes so much of our time that we scarcely have time for a breather. We have a ton of responsibilities, including cooking, dishwashing, laundry, correcting misbehavior, and many other things. It’s easy to convince yourself that you should work more and more. However, if you believe that working and earning money is more important than spending time with your family, you are mistaken. A strong family bond is more likely to keep a child from getting involved in risky activities and seeking connections elsewhere.
