Quality Time vs Quantity of Time: Finding the Balance in Parenting

This episode discusses the importance of spending time with children and debunks the misconception that it is solely about the quality of time. The hosts emphasize that the quantity of time spent with kids ultimately leads to the quality of time and share personal insights on maximizing this time.

1. Being consistently present and engaged with children can create meaningful interactions.
2. Taking children along for errands and everyday activities can provide valuable life lessons.
3. Being open to children's interests and hobbies, even if unfamiliar, can lead to meaningful conversations and connections.
4. As children grow older, it may require more effort to find common ground, but being adaptable and interested in their world can bridge any gaps.
5. Empty nest syndrome can be difficult as the time and attention previously given to children is no longer required.
6. Despite the changes, the speaker emphasizes the importance of consistently showing up for their children.
7. The speaker expresses gratitude for the eventual return of their older children as they begin to appreciate their parents' presence again.
