Reading this post, I realized how muchyou idealize your parents. I am sure they would have put a lot of efforts on you to reach the level of idealization.
You are right in saying that there are much more distractions via devices in the present world. Occupied by them parents go for neglecting being present for their children. They don't have time to appreciate and being present for the children's important tasks and events. So there is a need to be mindful with what we are doing with our time as parents.
Teaching accountability to our kids is of immense importance in making them responsible, productive and beneficial individuals.
Empathy is also needed to make us understand the emotions and feelings of our kids.
Thanks for sharing your experience based insights with us.
