The Myth Of Quality Time The May 1997 issue of Newsweekhad a cover story about the myth of quality time versus 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 on 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 bought 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.
