Get a Grip On Your Time Before Your Kids Grow Up
A few years ago I attended a presentation from Parenting Expert and well-known author, Stephen Biddulph on "Raising Boys".

And the type of time they need is not all thrown into a 'once a week' or 'month' block or some exotic holiday once a year, they need to spend time with their sons on a regular basis. Otherwise how can you build a strong and stable relationship?
