Our kids need our time. If you observe them closely you would find that they value your time more than any other thing in this world. Still most of us struggle to find a time, take vow everyday, and in the end fail to give even a single minute. The vacuum has to be filled in one manner or the other and the best way people do it is by filling it with money.

My sister and brother in law are both doctors and that too are busy ones. They have two kids aged 10 and 6 years. A sea change behavior I found in kids, on their recent trip to our home, was that they have become very demanding. The get attracted by material things, blackmail their parents to buy it for them and after few minutes their charm for the particular stuff has all gone away. It was not one time act but something they repeated several times during a very short visit.
While first I found the fault with the children’s but later I found that parents have been equally responsible too. Just because they could not devote time, they fulfilled all their good or bad wishes. And when they had time for kids they found that their attitude has been completely different. The children had stopped valuing their time and started to fill the precious minutes with more demands. The demands were from buying small toys to spending money on costly gadgets.
