The demands of everyday life is becoming more and more saturated especially for people who are very career oriented. The sad thing about this is that the time that we're supposed to be providing our children are usually the first to suffer these missing hours of family bonding. It is so easy to overlook certain details when we are so preoccupied with our jobs.
The chances of our kids, however, engaging in very unhealthy habits are increasing, studies show, the longer we spend time away from them. We have to understand that our children needs us especially during times that their development as a person is at its peak. But how can we make sure that they grow up as a responsible adult and focus enough on our careers to make sure that they get what they need?
Giving time is something that's very hard for us because of the demands of our jobs. It is true that being a parent is in itself a full time job. So how can we provide children with enough time they need to stay away from drugs or other unhealthy habits? Thankfully, the answer is as simple as just keeping them distracted: hobbies. All you have to do is find out what keeps your child happy for hours and you can be sure that he or she will do that for all the free time he has.
A good thing about encouraging your kid to keep a hobby is that it teaches a lot of things to our children. And if in case the hobby that your child chooses is something that you enjoy yourself, it also provides a bridge for you to bond as a parent and child. There are many things that children and parents alike learn from hobbies and this is something that the modern times have always prevented us from realizing.
Hobbies also teach children how to appreciate the products of their own hard work and so it increases the lieklihood that they will keep on doing it and become better at it. Of course, this is a stage that could possibly be filled with a lot of tears and frustrations so make sure that you are always there to provide the support necessary during these times.
We don't have to become the victims of our own badly raised kids if we only give them something that they can focus their minds on and take them away from the bad influences that surround them during modern times.
