3. Reduce your morning stress.
"Avoid starting the day on a frazzled note by getting organized the night before," Parents.com advised. "Look over the next day's to-do list and divide the schedule, determining which parent gets the kids dressed, buys necessary groceries, and cooks the meals."
4. Make a detailed family calendar.
One of the best parenting tips for working moms is to create a detailed family calendar. Scheduling doctor appointments, fun activities, family vacations, meetings and school activities can help you become a more efficient working mom.
5. Communicate with your kids throughout the day.
One of the most effective parenting tips for working moms is to have constant communication with their kids while working. Take advantage of every opportunity throughout the day to communicate with your kids through text messages, phone calls and video chats. "Use video phone calls to connect face-to-face during the trip - talk, sing, tell jokes, dance, whatever you like," Bright Horizons advises.
