Managing to stay on top of hectic schedule can take a heavy toll

Raising children is not only about paying bills, but also about spending time with them.

Wang Haifeng, a Beijing resident whose son is a fifth-grade primary school pupil, has a deep understanding of this fundamental fact.

Wang's husband is an oil-exploration researcher and his busy schedule takes him all over China. Wang, consequently, has to undertake the responsibility of taking care of their son. Apart from driving the boy to school and picking him up every day, Wang also has to accompany him to four different tutoring courses each week.
