The May 1997 issue of Newsweek had a cover story about the myth of quality time verses quantity time. Ronald Levant, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School, said, I think quality time is just a way of deluding ourselves into shortchanging our children. Children need vast amounts of parental time and attention. Its an illusion to think that theyre going to be in your timetable and that you can say, O.K., weve got half an hour, lets get on with it. Levant is saying that the idea that quality of time replaces quantity of time that so many boomer parents have brought into, is really a myth. There is no real quality of time unless we have a quantity of time to be with our children during those teachable moments when theyre dealing with everyday life. Follow Gods will. Invest a quantity of your time with your children, and Hell reward you with a quality relationship that is rich indeed. Its never too late to start spending a quantity of time with your children. Before you know it they will be grown and gone. Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
