How do you feel when juggling laundry, meals, bedtimes and life?

Consider which of these low-stress, time-efficient actions are worthy of your focus.

Divert children’s attention away from screens. Reducing screen time for your children requires laser-sharp focus, but it is worth it. Children with higher levels of screen time have poorer performance in areas such as communication, problem solving and social and motor skills.

Introduce your children to active play. By encouraging children to be active early on, they will learn to love being active throughout their lives.

Successful moms have laser-sharp focus on what matters most to them. Which one of these ideas are worthy of your focus this week?

• Take your children on a nature walk. Talk about what you see, smell and touch. Collect rocks and flowers. Listen to the birds. Tell your children how much you love them.
• Limit screen time. Doctors recommend young children have less than one hour of screen time a day. No screen time is even better, as screens can become an addictive habit.
