Are You Spending Enough Time with Your Kids?
More and more, I hear from moms that they worry they aren’t spending enough time with their kids.
And, I mean, it makes sense. Many of us moms work, which means someone else is doing the caregiving for a significant portion of the day. And then, we come home and it’s boom-boom-boom. We have to do the whole dinner, bathtime, bedtime routine, with the rush hour commute in between. It often feels like there isn’t much time to “just be” with our kids.
But, it’s not just working mothers. Stay-at-home moms feel it too. The days are filled with a strange melding of structure and the unstructured. Organized chaos. Feedings and nap times and play dates, washing bottles, packing diaper bags and backpacks, stroller into the trunk, stroller out of the trunk...with laundry and dinner prep squeezed in between.
No matter what kind of mom you are, it can be hard to feel like you can just be with your little one when there’s so much routine to keep up with. We all feel like we’re just trying to keep it all together.
Sometimes we think we need to plan a family vacation or sign up for a Mommy and Me class just to get some special one-on-one time with our little ones. But, we’re already doing so much.
So, what’s the answer?
Check out this Facebook Live video I did last week (transcript included), where I share insights from a recent study on parents and the amount of time they spend with their kids and what I think is more important.
