Tip Talk Monday: Hey Mom - Your Kids Are Calling!

 Are Your Wires Crossed? When cell phones, and Facebook Interfere with Parenting.

Spending too much time in cyberspace? Here's how to know...

• You're the yelling mom.  "If you are yelling at your kids because they are distracting you from your internet (or cell phone) time, that's a sign that something is not right." say's therapist of Wellesley.
  
• Your facebook friends know more about your real life than your own family does. Time to read - " No internet connection can take the place of real human interaction." 

...and What to Do About it 

•  Flip your perspective. Think about how your kids experience  you when you're on the phone or computer.  " How do you think your child feels when he calls "Mommy" 15 times and it goes unanswered?
• Ask for feedback. Ask a spouse of friend if they think you spend too much on the phone or online.  " Be prepared to take their feedback with a grain of salt, " but also be prepared to hear the truth that those close to you think you may spend too much time online"

• Keep a log of your online time. Note your begin and end time and set a limit.  

I hope this would be a good motherhood tips to all the mothers like me out there. Lately, my daughter and my hubby complained that I don't spend much time with them since I learn blogging. Because lately on my spare time, I spend it here.  Then I also stopped watching  TV  with them after supper. But for me this is the way I relax after a hectic schedule everyday doing house works.  But  I  know my  limits.  I also make sure that during  weekends I spend quality time with them. Happy Parenting :-)
