Today (20th) is Father’s Day. An organization interviewed nearly 600 Primary 4 to Primary 6 students and found that 40% of the students interviewed did not spend more than 30 minutes with their dad a day, but more than 70% of the interviewed students wanted to talk to their dad. Communicating for at least half an hour a day reflects that there is a big gap between the "expectations" of children and the "realistic" parent-child time that fathers can spend.
A survey by the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong found that 40% of the students interviewed did not spend more than 30 minutes talking with their fathers a day.

The Family Social Work Team of the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong conducted a questionnaire survey from November last year to March this year, and successfully interviewed 568 primary four to six students from various districts and different family backgrounds in Hong Kong.
The survey found that 41% of the primary school students interviewed actually talked with their father for no more than half an hour a day, and the average person who talked with their father for no more than one hour per day accounted for about 70% of the total.
When asked about their relationship with their dad, nearly 30% of the students "agree" and "strongly agree" that their fathers rarely know their troubles, and more than 20% of the students "agree" and "strongly agree" that their fathers do not know what they have experienced recently. Twenty percent of students think that their fathers have too high expectations.
Shi Wenxin, the coordinator of the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, suggested that parents should set aside at least 30 minutes a day to get along with their children.

Parents should set aside at least 30 minutes a day to get along with their children
Shi Wenxin, coordinator of the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, said that time together has always been very important to parent-child relationship. Unfortunately, modern parents are busy at work. Most dads work hard for the future of their families, but forget to arrange parent-child time.
Therefore, she suggested that parents should set aside at least 30 minutes a day to get along with their children, and only focus on their children, such as playing table games, telling stories, or even just sharing the experiences of the day with each other. She also suggested that parents should go out with their children more during the holidays. Walk and construct a unique and pleasant experience.
