From time to time, we may miss the quality time we need to spend with our children in our daily routines. Many parents may think 'we already spend time with their children' when they are with them. Of course, it is much better to have your child with you than to be alone all the time. In daily life, we all have some routines that we need to follow. For example, after coming home from work, preparing meals, clearing the table, and perhaps tidying up the house a little, lying down and resting can be a small part of our daily routine. But quality time means the time you spend one-on-one with your child, which will make him/her happy. Instead of sitting and watching television as a family, sitting together and watching a movie, and then commenting and chatting about the movie you watched will both strengthen the communication within the family and increase your child's ability to comment. In addition, playing games with your child, drawing, reading books, and helping him with his homework will make him feel valued. Sometimes, active time spent together can be excessive and the child is prevented from playing on his own. In this case, you give your child more attention than he needs. Your child will use this excessive interest for his own wishes. Every moment you spend with your child shows that you value him/her. We give the message to the subconscious, 'I value you, you are valuable to me'. Due to the busy work schedule today, one of the most important problems of working parents is limited time. The resulting situation will be that the child will learn to disobey his parents. Excessive interventions by parents will delay the development of expected characteristics at the child's age. The time that children spend on their own also contributes to their development. However, the most important point here is not how long the time you spend with your child is, but how effective it is. What you need to do here is to increase the quality of the time you spend with your child and meet his/her needs. As living conditions become more difficult and technology develops, our individual preoccupations increase and we meet the emotional needs of our children who need us. We cannot meet it. Let's not forget that quality time devoted to children is of great importance for a healthy generation. Every moment we spare for our child will make him/her happy. As a result of the investigations, it has been observed that children who receive love and trust from their parents can cope with the problems they encounter in life more easily, are less harmful to their environment, are more compatible with their friends and have a happier outlook on life. It has been observed that children who spend active time are more successful in their emotional processes, central nervous system development, self-confidence development and coping with stress. One of the most important emotions that affect children's personality development is the feeling of being valuable. Research shows that parents or caregivers spending one-on-one time with the child in the first five years of children's development increases the child's sense of worth.
