It is certainly important for a working parent, mother and father, to spend lots of time with their children. In fact, time spent with a growing baby is among the most memorable experiences of any person. However, modern-day compulsions allow little leisure time with the little ones. But that does not mean one broods over the lack of time. Psychiatrists feel that working mothers should not constantly think of the time factor, as it brings down their productivity levels.

Here are some positive parenting tips!

1. A child's well being, security and self-esteem is directly dependent on the quality of time spent with the parents.

2. Working or not working, a mother should be a happy person. So, never become unhappy because of your inability to spend less time with the child.

3. Always listen to your child carefully. Pay attention to him or her in the time that you allot to your little one and not just be physically present with the child.

4. A phone call before leaving office or a surprise visit in the school or a reminder to join the community picnic, and a close look on the progress card, can work wonders.
