Very touching, I shed a few tears on this part.
"I’m guessing you have 1:1 meetings on the books with a lot of people you work with. Do you have them regularly scheduled with your kids?"
I am totally doing this, but more like 1:1 days.
- wastedhours 7y agoDefinitely, make sure there's just "time". Everyone I've spoken to who has a real quality relationship with their kids has reiterated quantity is better than "quality". Don't fall into the trap of thinking that making it to the odd piano recital is the same as being there every day for dinner. As the piece sadly reminds us, that calendar invite might be scheduled too late.
- noja 7y agoYeah this "quality time" trope is often just a justification for not being there very often.

- taurath 7y agoYou become a manager of your kids, not a parent. The quantity time is when you’re there to emotionally engage with them. If you only show up during quality time, you’re teaching them that it’s only during big moments that life matters.
