We enjoy spending time with our sons whenever we can. It doesn’t matter if we’re just riding our bikes around the blocks, or having fun at the playground in a nearby park. Family time is a top priority for us. We are usually greeted by other families while we are out. However, it has become more and more common that many parents are "disconnected" during these family outings.
I’m not sure if the mom with the cute little boy is texting her best friend about the ongoing sales? She hasn’t stopped texting since sitting down on playground bench. Two boys are out playing catch with their dad, only the dad brings his electronic toy with him. He soon excuses himself from his sons and sits down to immerse himself in his techno gadget with a pair of headphones. These scenes play out over and over again at musical recitals, school plays, soccer practices, among many other places.
I’m not here to preach good-parenting. We all have our own ideal on the subject. This I’ll say though, family time needs “quality” to make it meaningful. If you must, bring a camera with you - capture the moments which you’ll treasure for years to come.
