Focus on the Family Malaysia discusses the importance of both quality and quantity time with children, while offering advice for new mothers transitioning from high-profile careers to full-time parenting.

From the original report

Q: Is the quality of time I spend with my children more important than the quantity of time?

Focus on the Family Malaysia: The truth is that both are essential to a child’s development and well-being. The more involved parents are with their children – and the word “more” here is used with direct reference to the concept of quantity – the less likely children are to have social, emotional or academic problems, use drugs or alcohol, become involved in crime or engage in premarital sex.
