The gift of belonging . Studies indicate the amount of time parents spend with their children is going down, not up. The average child spends only 15 minutes a day communicating with their parent. Instead of shopping for one more trinket why not play a game or bake cookies with your child. Schedule family time - we fill our calendars with everything else.
Time together is one way to gain a sense of belonging.
