Short transcript of a YouTube video (creator: Jacqueline Elliott) discussing the importance of being intentional when spending time with children: quality matters more than quantity; even short periods (10–20 minutes) can be meaningful if parents are present and engaged rather than distracted.

I give my kids 20 minutes? 20 minutes. My kids don't need more than 20 minutes. Do I only spend 20 minutes a day with you? No. No. What I try to say is that it doesn't matter if you spend 20 minutes or you're spending an hour, spend five hours. There are moms and dads out there that spend all day long with their kids and they have their cell phones in their hand. They're not intentional with their time. They're not showing their kids.
That they love being parents. No matter how.
Much time you get, whether it's 10 minutes, 20 minutes, an.
Hour, three.
Hours, five hours, you got.
To show your kids that you actually enjoy being the parent and.
You that's what they want.
That's what they need.
That's what they crave. They want to feel wanted. Being intentional with your time is all that matters. It doesn't matter how much time you get.
