It is a fact that many teenagers these days are having troubles at coping up with peer pressure as well as family problems that most of them end up being a headache in the society. But parents aer responsible to make sure that your kids are productive and be a good citizen. Balancing work and family life is quiet difficult especially if you are a single parent but this should not be an excuse for you to neglect your child and turn your back on them.
These kids are the countrys future. If you produce kids who are irresponsible and delinquent to the society then the future of this country would be dim and cruel. Disciplining kids is not that easy but it is one of your tasks as parents. You should prioritize your family above anything else. Below are some tips on how to spend quality with your kids during weekends or during your day off:
1. Encourage sports. A Sport is one way of keeping your kids busy. Oftentimes kids who are involved in sports turn out to be good, responsible and matured adults. If you have a teenager and you want him to steer out of drugs, pre-marital sex and bad company then be the first to introduce him into sports. It will not only keep him busy but a sport is also a good way of introducing good company of friends who are also passionate about sports.
2. Date your child. You and your spouse should have a weekly quality time together. Schedule a movie date or a dinner date with your kids. This is good time to discuss things that happened in school over the weekdays as well as discuss future plans with them. Dating your child does not have to cost much. The important thing here is that you get to spend time with them and talk to them.
Turn off your mobile phone when you are with them to make sure that you are uninterrupted and your attention to them is undivided. If your child is a girl then you can shop with her and if your child is a boy then you can go fishing or if you have both then you should do something that all of you would enjoy like bowling, watching movie or maybe going out of town and visit new places.
