They Don't Need The Whole World. They Just Need You.

The number of broken families around the globe is on the rise. People point to several factors for the reason behind this and one of the reasons is the lack of time. It is never wrong to work hard for the sake of providing the needs of the family but to do it to the point that a parent or both parents no longer have time to spend with their kids or with their partners is alarming.

Time spent with family members whether it is having a simple picnic outside the house or going on family vacations is good investment. While the kids or spouse may remember the things you bought for them, the time you spent with them is worth more than all those gifts combined. It is through those moments they feel your love and their importance in your eyes. Statistics show that families who spend more time together have less to no chances of being broken than those who see each other once or twice a week only. Children who feel loved and cared for have fewer risk of getting into the wrong peers when they become teens than those who get less attention growing up. Couples who make time for each other have less possibilities of cheating on each other or divorce.

The solution is simple but it should be applied before it’s all too late. It sounds cliché but the things which cannot be seen are the ones that are more important than the things that can be seen. Let your kids know that they mean a lot to you. Let your spouse know that you love him/her. Remember that they don’t really need the world (the things you can give), they just need you.
