Good news for families: A new report confirms parents are spending valuable moments with their young ones. According to Science Daily, mothers and fathers across many Western countries are spending more time with their children than parents did in the mid-1960’s.

According to Science Daily, “In 1965, mothers spent a daily average of 54 minutes on child care activities, while moms in 2012 averaged almost twice that at 104 minutes per day. Fathers' time with children nearly quadrupled — 1965 dads spent a daily average of just 16 minutes with their kids, while today's fathers spend about 59 minutes a day caring for them.”

While serving in church leadership can leave us feeling busy and even stretched thin, our families both need and deserve our best. Whether they’re young or grown, how will you spend time caring for your children today?
