As the child starts attending school, most of our interactions with the child would center around different transactions of completing various chores like assignments, tests, attending extra classes. We all tend to lose that connection or bonding with the child, as we also get occupied with other things in life.  But the child really needs us and our time to grow up into an Emotionally and Mentally Strong Adult. But we only have 24 hours, so spending time with the kids has become a mandatory task which has stopped giving us any results.
