Here's a common lament of most parents:"We long for quality time with our children.but when we finally reach home,we're stressed out from work and the traffic,and the kids misbehave.How can we have a quiet family time together?"You may be too tire and tense to give the children your full attention.They tease you becoz they'd rather have negative feedback than a half-hearted"quiet family time".Children easily pick up on these things so you must show them that the family is your priority.Thing that can help you* Learn stress control techniques so you'll have enough energy left to face your kids rowdy behavior.* Sit down with them and ask each one to tell you about his/her day.Tell them you missed them,and do nothing else until you've had this timetogether.Then let them help you in the kitchen or in preparing the dinner table.* Get up early enough to have breakfast with your kids.

yeah thats true. Its difficult to keep to your senses after going through a rough day... and the traffic it just seems to be increasing at an amazing rate. Most of the time I feel I dont even remember how the quiet family time was like anymore. Giving priority to your family and kids is very important but we seem to be going away from all of that being stuck in materialistic life and trying to make ends meet.
