Probably because parents run out of time first typically
Then by definition if they appreciate time with their kids then they will reach out... And by definition they should set the example to the child of reaching out.
All parents know that you don't have to force children to eat their sugar... Likewise, you don't have to shame them into reaching out to spend time in relationships that are mutually beneficial and enjoyable.
Just make sure the child is benefiting from their relationship with you and let nature take its course... Call them and show them by example how much they mean to you and watch them become your reflection in the mirror.
