Episode notes

When you’re a parent who works full-time, or even part-time, how do you prioritise connection with your kids?

Whether we work from home or outside the home, our children want us in their lives and we want to be in their lives. But of course, that’s not always possible. It’s not always practical to go to every school event and sports game. How do we know which ones matter most? And how do we overcome the guilt when we really can’t be there?

Our children need to feel like they’re important in our lives. But how do we do that when we have so many competing priorities?

Creating clear boundaries, getting creative and keeping communication open is key. And it doesn’t have to take long!

This podcast provides some simple strategies for making sure your kids feel like they matter (because they do).
