Teaching Kids to Give Mom Some Time
by admin ~ July 15th, 2011. Filed under: Uncategorized.Stay at home moms sacrifice a lot do do what they love. Obviously, they love staying with their kids, or they would not be doing it. There are days that every mother wonders whether she is doing the right thing. Perhaps the kid’s games are wearing on her last nerve. Where is that nerve anyway. What some moms need is a good tickle of the funny bone. How can a mom plan time to simply watch a funny movie, when her kids are constantly needing her attention? The answer lies in finding a workable home balance. If you think about it, we all need this harmony flow.
Businesses know the formula. They give their employees breaks. In reality, a work at home mom is running a business. The great thing is, mom is the boss. That said, learn to schedule in needed break times throughout the day. Have a quiet time where younger children nap or play quiet games. There needs to be rules to this, just as there are at a workplace. The children need to recognize the importance of mom time. Enforce the rules gently but firmly. It helps to be consistent. Make these times fun for all.
