The results of the reality check are in. There are no quick-fixes. There are no shortcuts through parenthood. Being a one minute parent may be a short term survival strategy, but with enormous costs. We reap what we sow.
Time is a seed of love.
When you sow time into your family you will reap love. A one minute parent will raise a one minute child. Then, in the context of our hectic, crowded, over committed culture, the foundations of our interpersonal relationships, the foundation of our family structure, the foundation of our vocation as parents will be destroyed by our inability to be truly present to another person. Tenderness for what he is and respect for what he may become. What he or she may become depends on what we as parents do now.
