DISTRACTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE PARENTING: ARE WE AWARE OF IT?

We often hear that children are being distracted by various things like Facebook, TV, Gadgets, Peers, etc. and 
which  is  very  true  as  well.  But  what  about  distractions  for  parents?  The  distractions  by  social  gatherings, 
long our duties, excessive love for ‘pets’ (more than a child?), habits like drinking, smoking and partying, etc. 
can leave a serious and destructive impact on the child for long term. Are we aware of it?
