Children florish when they are unhurried

Children, you know, they take a long time doing what they do, dressing , eating, but we adults move at the speed of light. And we come up with a new way to raise children. We drag them out of bed each morning to make time for child care, so that we can be in the office by a certain time. We no longer feed them 3 meals because it takes too long to prepare and they too slow to eat.

Now we are being taught that quality time matters, not quantity time. We think its fine for mothers to be away from children all day, except they come home at night and spend an hour with the child. We believe that we can raise children with left over time, as if creating an intellectually person don't need much effort. Children are not supposed to fit into our lives, we are supposed to fit into their lives. Waht children need is time and attention, and the undivided loyalty of one adult, preferably mothers.
