Work gracefully not with guilt

Today I came across a famous film personality’s interview,where he stated  “however busy he and his wife( who is aparently a busy film star)  are  with  their daily work schedules, they come together to have a talk with their 13 year old son  for 15 minutes without fail. If they are in different places then video call is must for all  three of them to close the day. This one single family activity helps them to increase their  bonding  and able to increase their creativity/ productivity  at work as family is a place where he draws energy from” he adds.

In most of the cases , when both parents work, children might feel neglected. No matter how hectic your life becomes, you need to set aside some time each day for your youngsters. This activity surely  gives them assurance and  they feel they are  loved so much. Telling  how  important they are for you   through words or gifts  is not sufficient . convey this  through a commitment of time. Two-parent working families may have more money, but material things and access to costly activities are no substitute for a parent's time. By dedicating  few hours from your daily calender can help your kids to be confident and  develop positive attitude towards life.

When both parents are working in a  family there can be definitely a positive influence on children.

Both Parents and children will enjoy the benefits of  “time management” and “being organized”.

Boys and girls will tend to develop positive attitude towards their future as they see  both Mom and Dad are succeeding in the workplace as well at personal relationships.

Girls in particular move ahead with lot of self confidence and see themselves having greater career options when  they have a mother who works.

Children will become self sufficient, more exploring, if at all their after-school child care setting is properly made. Middle aged kids also have greater exposure to other youngsters and new social experiences, which can contribute to their development.

Any kind of situation in life can become favorable to us provided we have a clarity on what we are doing and why? When we explain children about our need to work or our passion or whatever the other reasons, they will surely cooperate with parents and kids not only  encourage parents  but eventually  get motivated by self.

So, when both of you parents work, never work with guilt ; work with Grace! All the best!!
