I would like to bring up that parenting is what you do with your children while you are with them, regardless of whether they are in school or daycare...it is how you interact with them at home where the most benefit lies.

Quality time with the quantity of time you spend with them.

Are they parked in front of the TV? Video games? Doing their own thing (reading, homework, talk on phone) in their rooms?
vs
Homework at the kitchen table as meal is being cooked or parent helping w/ homework? Family eat together at the table? Watch TV/movie as a family? Play interactive games like cards, puzzles and such?

That is where I see the biggest difference.
