Collaborative Parenting

The most difficult thing in the world is ' Being a good father'; I somewhere heard, that Barack Obama said this in one of his conversation. At the outside it looks very simple, but extremely difficult to implement. It calls for a lot of dedication,time,innovation,being one with the kid & getting into the skin. But it's an experience that provides an immense satisfaction, happiness & an opportunity that provides you the lead to influence the generations to come.

I have heard many people saying that they provide (little) quality time with their children. I don't subscribe to this view & theory. Unless you spend lot of time with your kids, you cannot create a quality time. Remeber kids are more intelligent than us & they can easily read out body language & mine. So the fundamental principle is to create a baseline - by spending a large quantity of time ; so that you can connect with them emotionally, because building this emotional infrastructure with your kids is the most difficult task.Once this is done, the other values can top up.

To all fathers & mothers - thanks for being there for your kids & we all owe the moral responsibility to co-create a society without any fragmentation.
