Do you want your child to do better than you did in life and ensure they don’t make the same mistakes, which once you made when it came to handling life’s challenges that were thrown at you?   I’m sure as parents we all want the best possible future for our kids and we go a long way and exhaust all our efforts to provide our kids with the opportunities and resources they need to develop and grow.   However sometimes because of life’s hustle and bustle and especially living in a time where there is so much going on in our lives, extreme amounts of workload that is weighing on our backs, we can often lose focus off our children.   Living in a fast paced work environment can mean that most of the time we often fail to give our attention and time to our kids.
