The lack of family quality time has a more significant impact on children than their parents. Minors rely on their parents for emotional support, guidance, and role-modelling, and mothers and fathers play a crucial role in developing their children’s self-esteem and a sense of belonging. Unlike juveniles, adults are more equipped to handle stress, disconnection and guilt for not accompanying their loved ones. However, these emotions can cause a child to feel neglected, confused, and hurt, which could to a host of negative outcomes such as poor academic performance, behavioural problems, and mental health issues. While both parents and children may be affected by devoting less time together, the latter category is more vulnerable.
