Quote by Mark Twain

We are always too busy for our children; we never give them the time or interest they deserve. We lavish gifts upon them; but the most precious gift, our personal association, which means so much to them, we give grudgingly.

We are always too busy for our children; we never give them

Summary

This quote highlights our tendency to prioritize material possessions and external gestures over meaningful and genuine connection with our children. Despite showering them with gifts, what truly holds value for them is our time and involvement in their lives. However, we often fail to make this a priority and only offer our presence reluctantly. In doing so, we overlook the fundamental importance of personal association and the impact it has on our children's emotional well-being and development.
