Wonderful lessons here i must say. The letter to her parents is so touching. Really beautiful write up. I normally look out for positivity in posts and there is a lot we should all learn here.
Just like what @churchboy said while replying @badmusgreene, When work intrudes on family time, children suffer. "Quality time" is a misnomer. Children need quantity when it comes to parent involvement. The amount of time invested is directly related to the degree of psychological adjustment.
When i was younger, my dad was always there. He listens, guides and helped me make decisions about what to watch and listen to. It's not so much that he was telling me what to do but that he knew what was happening in my life. I know he cared, And when I screwed up, he always prayed with me."
Parents from all socioeconomic strata are distressed. Unfortunately, the response by some parents is to lose interest in their kids. What we teach our children is the foundation of what they become.
Working parents who make family time a priority and are committed to their child's development are just as capable of establishing a healthy bond with their child as non-working parents. Creating a secure, healthy attachment with your child requires more than a certain amount of time spent together -- it requires love, nurturing, commitment, attending to your child's physical needs and developing a sense of connection to your child.
I look forward to more engaging posts from @adsactly. Nice one @churchboy.
It feels great to be here @velimir. Thanks for the invite once again.

Wow amazing
You truly understand the concept of child rearing. You would make an amazing father. Someone once said, "In the early stages of a child development, they need touching and love. To them, love is like a vitamin or some other valuable nutrient. As a child would develop rickets due to deficiency in vitamin D, a child would also develop limiting behaviour such as low self esteem, fear of failure and inability to handle criticisms. Therefore thus child would spend the rest of their lives trying to compensate these deficiencies instead if living up to their full potentials. This is similar to a child walking through life with bowed legs."
So yes, raising a child requires quantity, lots and lots of time and not just quantity. When a child understands that she is loved unconditionally, then the parents have won.
