Commentary for Kiddushin 59:8

רבי חייא בר אבא אשכחיה לריב"ל דשדי דיסנא ארישיה וקא ממטי ליה לינוקא לבי כנישתא א"ל מאי כולי האי א"ל מי זוטר מאי דכתיב והודעתם לבניך וסמיך ליה יום אשר עמדת לפני ה' אלהיך בחורב מכאן ואילך רבי חייא בר אבא לא טעים אומצא עד דמקרי לינוקא ומוספיה רבה בר רב הונא לא טעים אומצא עד דמייתי לינוקא לבית מדרשא

'Is it then a small thing,' he replied: 'that it is written: 'and thou shalt make them known to your sons and your sons' sons'; which is followed by, that is the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb'? From then onwards R'Hiyya B'Abba did not taste meat<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [ , a piece of grilled meat usually taken at breakfast].');"><sup>15</sup></span> before revising [the previous day's lesson] with the child and adding [another verse]. Rabbah son of R'Huna did not taste meat until he took the child to school.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

R. Joshua b. Levi is in such a rush to go bring his child to the synagogue to learn that he does not even dress properly. Other rabbis do not eat meat until they read with their children, and add on to the previous lesson or bring them to the bet midrash.
