I just hope that the over-parenting trend doesn't continue because 1) it's not sustainable for most parents and 2) it does not permit children to learn confidence and joy in their own company. Mind you, the irony is that one day when they're all grown up and out of the house the situation will be reversed and this mama will be yearning for her kids to spend more time with her! @Patrice – I agree with you that it’s important to spend time with our children while they’re young and in fact, at every stage in their lives.

There are times when our children wants to play with us instead of playing with their toys. Bit I think, we should spend some time playing with them as our kids will not always be kids. Nice post.
