For me the best advice for parents is not to spend time with their children, but rather to SPEND ALL THEIR TIME WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
A very old book said the following:
"These words that I am commanding you today must be in your heart, and you must inculcate them in your children and talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
Although it referred to God's commandments for the Israelites, they are applicable to all aspects of life and highlights the importance of first being convinced ourselves and then "inculcate" NOT "impose" it.
Like that! I spend pretty much all my time outside work and school with the kids. I didn’t have my dad around so much when I was a kid so I’m trying to be around them as much as possible
