Some parents attempt to buy their children's love with material gifts or presents.
Parents who work or attend college or evening classes, or evening meetings, needing to spend many hours away from their children will do well to spend at least 20 minutes to one-half hour with them before they depart or as soon as possible when they come home. A period of undivided attention from parents will reassure the child of the parents' love and interest in them, even though they have to be away for long hours.
