In today’s times, the best present or gift that parents can give to their child is “presence”.

When child wakes up – finds that mother is there.

When child comes back from school – mother is there.

When child comes back from playground – mother is there. 

This is the biggest benefit to child. The presence of mother at home is no more considered as regressive. In fact, many parents (even in western countries) are spending more time with children by taking off from duty, maternity leaves, paternity leaves, break in career etc.

This is not only for mothers, but even fathers are also taking such steps to establish connect with their children.

Next time you feel like doing this – go for it without apprehensions. Investing in संस्कार (samskar) is essentially the main role of parents.

Home makers are great, and it is no more considered regressive!
