10 WAYS TO MAKE TIME FOR YOUR CHILDREN
Commit to a family mealtime each day.

Write your children's activities into your schedule book -
in ink!

Identify one thing on your weekly schedule you can do
without and replace it with kid time.

Take one of your children along when you run errands.

Volunteer to participate in a regularly scheduled child
activity, such as coaching a softball team or helping with
a school activity.

Identify one children's show on TV that you secretly like
to watch and make a point of watching it with your child.

Develop an interest in a hobby you and your child can
enjoy together.

If your work requires that you travel, take one of your
children along with you when your business trip can be
extended into a long weekend.

If your work schedule is flexible, start your work day
earlier so you can get home earlier in the afternoon to
be with your family.

Leave your work, cellular phones and pagers at home when
you go on family vacations and outings.
