Quality time with your kids, from a SAHM / WAHM
Do you spend quality or quantity time with your kids? I am a strong believer in quality time with the boys. I am so thankful to have the ability to stay at home with my boys and own my business right from the comfort of our home. But let's be honest, some days the boys - especially the toddler, just doesn't let me get very much done during the day. I end up staying up late and sacrificing my sleep, which isn't always something that coffee can cure!
What I have discovered is that quality of time with my boys is much more important than quantity of time. If I spend just 1/2 hour of time devoted to them right away in the morning, before turning on my computer and getting to work, is heaven. So, each morning, I try to eat breakfast with them and talk about our upcoming day and then we head off to play - no TV, just playing time. When they realize that there is nothing more important in the world then them, even for a short time, their behavior is so much better. After our quality time, I am able to work, mostly without interruption.
Try it today in your household and see if quality of time works for you too!
