Spend quality time with your kids no matter what – CEO of B&FT

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Business and Financial Times newspaper, (B&FT), Dr. Mrs. Edith Dankwa, has cautioned parents to always make time for their children no matter how busy their schedule is.
Speaking to Rev. Erskine on the Y Leaderboard Series, she explained that even as a busy career woman, she makes time for her children because she believes that will contribute to shaping future leaders of the country.
“If I can support my children with opportunities,I will do it to ensure that they become future leaders to help their society. I think that is the responsibility of every parent to ensure that the people we bring on this planet earth impact the society”.
She recounted that the support from her family, especially her parents had shaped her into the woman she is now and as such it will be in the right place to do so for her children.
“I have tried as much as possible to be involved in my children’s upbringing or life because my parents were there for me.
My daddy is still alive and stays with us now. He is close to eighty-eight (88) years. Up till today, he has been there for me. During challenging times, when he has to support, in any way, you would be surprised.
If that has shaped me and formed me, I think the best thing to do is to be there for my children”, she said.
Commenting on the qualities she deems important in the life of her children, she told Rev. Erskine, “You have to be hardworking, humble, respectful and assertive at the same time”.
