Abstract
This chapter discusses the second theme that developed from my research: “the value of spending quality time with their child”. Parents recognise the importance of ensuring that their interactions with their child are enjoyable and productive rather than confrontational and negative. As a result they are forming improved relationships and experiencing a more harmonious home life.
