Fulfilling
the role of Mom while holding down a job is really tough but trust me it's not
impossible. Little planning and family cooperation can balance your personal
and professional life. Fortunately, the prevailing winds are beginning to
change, and women are finding they can balance work and family.
Tips to balance your home and job: Mostly we thing kids are
dependent on us but this not completely true. They are because we make them so.
As a working mom you need to make your child independent. Teach them the basic
routine things like cleaning up their rooms, getting ready for school and going
alone to the bathroom etc. Trust me, your child will learn these small things
very soon and this will make them independent in life which is really very good
for their bright future.
- Create a routine of playing,
study, eating etc and pass the information to your child. So in case you are
not around, your child does all his important tasks in time. Speak to your child and explain the things,
they will take it positively.
- If you have hired nanny,
arrange for a written contact with her regarding what is expected out of her
and what is not. You can set clear guidelines for handling your child and make
them exactly the way you want your child to be reared.
- Make a visit to your child's
school, try to be friendly with all his friends and see whether your child is
in good company or not because he is spending more time with them than you.
Speak to teachers if required to understand the performance of your child.
