I don't know the exact number of hours children spend with their parents, but it seems to me that they spend relatively little time together. Most of their days are spent studying at school, and some have to participate in extracurricular activities or classes. This leaves them with only 1 or 2 hours for hobbies, relaxation, and family time. I know that in many families, especially those living in big cities, the family meal is the only time they get to see their parents and have a conversation with them. After dinner, they have to go back to studying and dealing with homework. Then, the next morning, they have to get up early to prepare for another day at school. So, I think there's a significant lack of communication between parents and children nowadays.
