/24-7PressRelease/ - BOSTON, MA, September 21, 2006 - From packing lunches, to carpools, to helping with homework, many parents find themselves with little family time and even less personal time.
Ten Ways to Make More Time for Your Kids, the top ten list from
FamilyEducation.com, provides parenting tips and expert advice to save time during the hectic back to school season
Family Education is the leading online publisher of educational expertise, practical guidance, and grade specific (K-12) information for a child's learning and school experience.
The list was created by a group of Minnesota moms and dads who organized a community group, Family Life First, aimed at restructuring people's lives to create more time for interaction, recreation, and relaxation. Tips focus on a variety of methods for finding time for family fun, from the classic "turn the television off during dinner" to "make sure kids get enough sleep."
Other tips suggest that scheduling is vital for a
stress-free life. Limiting parent and children activities to one at a time may at first seem troubling, especially if your children do multiple after school activities. However, having your children make difficult decisions is a great learning experience and will immediately begin to free up schedules for fun family activities.
"Following these and other parenting tips can help create a fun family environment that parents and children can enjoy together," said Jess Brallier, Publisher and General Manager, Family Education Network. "In our rapidly changing world, parents often forget the importance of interaction and conversation between family members. These tips encourage a less rushed, more relaxed family life."
