Stay Connected With Your Kids

Who would not want to? All of us enjoy the company of our kids , but are we really spending quality time with them? With the increasing maid culture in India , i'm worried if the parents are able to spend any time even in terms of quantity.It is very common to see kids accompanied by their maids or servants everywhere , even to Birthday parties.One of my friends enrolled her 2 yr old son to a mother and kid interactive class which was just twice a week for an hour.But the problem was that she had too many social engagements to attend that the kid was accompanied by his maid most of the times.Poor maid did not understand a single word that was being taught , as a result the child did not follow anything and nor did he interacted with anybody.                          


I remember taking my elder daughter to a gym class in America when she was 2.It was so much fun.We sang songs , played with balls, climbed up and down the ladder, went in and out of the parachute, walked like a trapeze artist and made bubbles(my daughter's favorite part).I would always cherish those moments but will my friend have any memories at all of her son's initial classes?
