The myth of "quality time"

(From All Pro Dads)

Washington D.C.'s first major league baseball team, the Senators, was owned by Clark Griffith, who, in the democratic, give-the-people-what-they-want spirit of the city, said: "Fans like home runs - and we have assembled a pitching staff to please our fans."

Right idea, wrong method. It's the same with the myth of "quality time"... as in "I don't get to spend a lot of time with my kids, but when I do, it's 'quality time.' "

Kids spell love with another four letter word: t-i-m-e. You see, where you spend your time reflects your priorities, and your children know where they stand. Make sure they know they are loved. Spend more time with them.

Do you need to spend more time with your kids? Here's how.

Huddle up with your kids tonight and ask: What would you like to do this weekend?
