CHILDREN ON THE FAST TRACK

CHILDREN ON THE FAST TRACK

Be careful you are not enrolling your children in too many activities. They need enough involvement to keep them from getting bored, but too much will keep you racing from one event to another. Dr. Katherina Monassis, child psychiatrist at the Hospital for Sick Children, says that overworked schedules are a contributing factor among her patients suffering from anxiety. She suggests that young schoolchildren are often better with just one outside activity. (Source: Toronto Star, October 7, 2000)

BUDDY SYSTEM FOR MOTHERS

To get some scheduled, personal time at least one day a week, consider having your friend’s kids at your home for three or four hours and the next day have your friend take your kids.

BENEFITS OF DELEGATION

Delegation not only saves time, it enables staff to perform more challenging jobs, builds morale, motivates, and facilitates training.

PACK EARLY WHEN MOVING

As soon as you know you’ll be moving, start packing. Set a goal of one or two cartons per day, marked as to contents and the room they will be going to.
