But the crucial factor is time. If we focus on mothers, for example, the survey shows that half of them would like to play with their children for several hours a day, but it is only less than a quarter. Likewise, every second mother would like to read her child for at least an hour a day, but only less than a quarter of mothers can do it. And two-thirds would like to talk to their children for several hours a day, about half of them do.
At this time, much more is needed than is generally believed. In the old days, when a child was lucky, so grew up in a house where my dad had a blacksmith's workshop and mum ran there, the children moved freely and were in contact with their parents all the time. Today, however, they both run away from their careers and children are left to television and computers. It is bad. The child needs to be individually addressed by the parent. In the past, dishes might have been wiped off and children could have fun with their parents. But this is not thanks to dishwashers today.
