The increasingly competitive economy is creating an environment where parents are forced to spend longer hours at work and fewer hours with their children. As a result, outside influences have greater access and sway over our children than ever before. The internet and the media are bringing the outside world into your home; your child’s peers; the influences on children from movies and the music they listen to are growing in importance everyday.
If you are like most parents, you cannot afford to decrease the amount of time at work to monitor their exposure. Therefore, the quality of time you spend with your child is critical to maximize your influence over the negative effects of the outside world.
