trying to spend dinner time with them every night helps me. We talk about things, We even go out to dinner every Wednesday night at a sit down type of restaurant without failure. That helps them know that I will not let anything come up on that night even if things come up on other nights. We take turns picking the restaurant. Also if you have errands try to use that time to take one child at a time with you, talk to them by themselves and see whats going on in their lives. Try to plan a picnic, trip to park etc. without failure once a month or so. Things that are set and not forgotten even when it may not be as often as you like helps the kids to know you will be there for them. Then if you can go eat lunch with them at school, my child's school makes it spacial, they can invite a Friend to eat too, and sit in a special seat. That only takes about 30mins.

Some have learned how to spend time with their children while at work, by having the children work along with them. Others have changeed jobs, so as to have more time to spend witht ehir families. The quality of the time spent with them is just as important as the amount...

It's about structure and priority. Set aside time that belongs only to the children. Spend small amounts of time everyday focused on them. Converse with them at mealtimes. At least once a week set a block of time for them to do things with you.

also if you have to do errands when you do have off some kids like to help out and you can make it kinda a fun thing
or maybe have a date night with your child where you go out to a movie or something they will always have special memories of that kind of thing
