The relationships we build with our children must be strong in order for them to be well-balanced, healthy adults one day. Unfortunately, not making the time to play with our children creates a major problem for us. Playing with our kids takes time, and it takes effort. When quiet moments occur, it is much easier to hand the child a tablet or phone to pacify them rather than engaging in conversation with them. It is far easier to create a life in which our kids are constantly busy with extracurricular activities rather than spending time together as a family.
They have awkward moments on holidays or obligatory phone calls that feel forced. Is it strong? Or strained? Do you freely discuss your lives and things that are important to you? Can you count on them for emotional support when you hit hard moments or want to celebrate successes? I see so many adults who do not have a strong relationship with their parents. If you don’t take the time to play with my children, you are making a very costly mistake.Ĭonsider your relationship with your parents.
The cost of psychological damage alone may be staggering. In fact, the amount of money you may need to spend to repair the damage made to that relationship could be astounding. If you devote all your time toward building a legacy for your kids, but forget to build a relationship with kids, that legacy no longer has any value. We push ourselves to earn enough for the best house, the best car, the best electronics, vacations, clothes, and foods that our money can get for us. We spend countless hours building careers that bring in enough money to adequately provide for our families. Life is busy! We have obligations that fill our calendars and consume our energy.
