For Parents of Toddlers: Toddlers, as a group, give you many feelings of uncertainty and self-doubt when it comes to parenting. Spending most of the time with your toddler doesn't guarantee a good child-parent relationship, anymore than spending many hours apart if you are a parent that works full-time outside the home. When you are with your toddler just make the most of the time you spend with him instead of worrying about how much time you are spending with him.
