Children love to spend their time with parents and so do the parents. When both the parents are working it becomes difficult for them to spare their time. It is essentially of utmost importance that parents give quality time to children especially when children are home from their boarding schools.

Children find it very awkward these days to sit with parents as they feel there is a huge generation gap.
