Tip # 2 - Have a bestie.
With the stress that you are consistently getting every day, it is important that you have someone that will be there to listen to you. Having a trusted girlfriend by your side can actually help reduce anxiety and improve your health.
Tip # 3 - Be 100% there with your kids the moment you get home from work.
Refrain from taking out your gadgets while you're at home. A recent study concluded that more than half of kids feel that they are not their parent's priority because they check their devices too often! Spend your 'home' time being at home, not getting lost in the sea of your emails (or your friend's updates!)
Tip # 4 - Share household work with your children.
Start 'em young! It pays to teach your children the value of hard work right inside the home. Teaching them how to take out the trash, do the dishes and fix their rooms at an early age would train them to be independent and responsible. Plus, it can also double up as a bonding experience between you and your child.
Tip # 5 - Sleep in on the weekends.
Go ahead, ditch your alarm and sleep that extra hour you've deprived yourself during the busy week. You need that sleep to replenish your depleted energy that you will be needing as you face another busy work week.
