But in reality, there are many people who, despite being busy, never forget their role in accompanying their children. Anyone can be a great father. When it comes to spending time with your child, quality is more important than quantity. If you spend 2-3 hours a day with your child but constantly get angry, get distracted by work, or use your phone, that time can even have a negative impact on the child’s development.
