Making Time For Your Kids Is An Important Mission As A Parent
Remote working can be tough when you are a mom. There is constantly someone who needs you to do something, but you are also trying to do your job. Most people don’t have the pressure of trying to juggle both children and their career at the same time, but remote workers often do have to do this and it’s definitely a challenge. Some kids end up feeling as though their parents have no time for them because they are working what feels like all of the time. You have got to do everything you can to combat this, and we’re going to be giving you some ideas down below. If you’re interested in learning more, read on.
Spending Evenings Together
Spending evenings together is one of the most important things that you can do. It might be something like sitting down to have a family movie night a couple of times per week, or you might want to go out to the park or whatever you want to do. If you want to watch themed movies, movies about Easter are available here for you to watch for example, or you can find other occasion movies if you look hard enough.
The point here is that you are letting your kids know that no matter what happens throughout the day, the evening is theirs. They can do whatever they want with you, spending as much time as they can before you all head off to bed. This is a nice way to ensure that everyone feels included, and it’s a good boundary between professional and personal, even though you are going to be in the house all day.
Taking Breaks For Serious Matters
You should also ensure that you are taking breaks for serious matters. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what time it is in the day, there is an emergency or something serious going on with one of your kids, and this has to take priority over everything else. Take a break from work or the rest of the day off or something and ensure that they are getting what they need from you.
This might be a physical health problem, it might be a mental health problem or it might be something else entirely. Your kids just need to know that you are going to show up for them no matter what, and that they are not an inconvenience for this. If there’s no time, you need to make time for these situations.
There you go then! These are some of the things that you are going to need to do when it comes to making time for your kids. We know that when you work from home it’s really easy to blur the lines between your professional life and your personal one, but it’s important that you do your best to keep them separate. Having said that, your kids are the most important people in your life, and you need to make time for them whenever you can.

Absolutely! Spending quality time with our kids is priceless. It strengthens our bond and creates beautiful memories. Thank you for highlighting this crucial aspect of parenting. It’s a reminder to cherish every moment and prioritize what truly matters.
We can get so caught up in the busy-ness of life that we forget to cherish what matters.
As a working mom who also works both remotely and physically, it can be incredibly challenging to balance work and family life. However, I have found that spending evenings together and taking breaks for serious matters are both great ways to ensure that my daughter feels valued and included in my life. It’s important to set boundaries between work and personal life, but at the end of the day, our kids are the most important thing. Thank you for sharing these helpful tips!
Sonia, it sounds as oif you have found a routine and practice that works super well for you. I look forward to hearing more.
I love that time I have with my son. He’s the last one home so I am always reminded of how fast time goes by when they get to be in high school, and it is going by very quickly.
It goes by so quickly. I can understand why people get anxious to have grandchildren.
It’s one of the most interesting topics I’ve ever heard about! The information you provided is beneficial. Thanks for sharing it with me.
You are very welcome. I look forward to hearing how you use it.
I agree with this 100%, having time for the kids is very important for any parent. And do many things such as teaching, learning, and making moments.
It is all of the moments that make the life beautiful.
Thank you for this reminder. I often feel I am to busy to spend quality time with the kids – this points out the importance to make the time.
There always seems to be so much to do but it is those moments spent with the kids and doing fun things that they will cherish.
When we were starting out building my family, it was really hard to juggle both our career and parental duties. I guess it is all about prioritizing things and scheduling tasks.
I would agree with you. It is a juggle to balance work, family time, chores and all the other things that go into life. It is generally, especially hard for parents of young ones.
This is something that we as parents can forget so easily. It’s too easy to get caught up in providing for our kids – so much so that we forget what they really need is US.
