Finding Time for Family Fun and Togetherness

Time Management for Parents

How would you like to escape to a holiday destination every weekend
and restore some of your vitality? Is this possible
with the demands of work and family?

Absolutely!

My family and I have been 'on holiday at home' for the past ten years, having great fun researching the 400 venues that appear in the guidebook Sydney for Kids and on the website www.sydneyforkids.com.au.

I have found parenthood to be the biggest challenge I've faced and the most important job of all, but it can also be rejuvenating and inspiring.

I like to help busy people enjoy their families more, particularly if they need to

• rethink their routines and/or priorities,
• find the motivation after a tough week at work to make the effort to get out and about with the family,
• discover the range of family activities available these days - and many of these are 'freebies' or 'cheapies', so you can afford to do lots of different things regularly without blowing the budget, 
• get some tips on how to fill the weekends with fun for all members of the family,
• decide what is really important to you and your family and work towards spending your time this way.

 
I can present either keynote addresses or workshops, focusing on

• Family Fun in Sydney - all Sydney has to offer families including many freebies and cheapies,
• Family Fun and Togetherness - tips for great family outings that all the family enjoy, 
• Transition to Parenthood,
• Work/Family Balance,
• Mums Returning to Paid Work - implications for Mum and the family,
• Flourishing Dual Earner Families ie 2 parents tackling 3 jobs - 2 in paid employment and the job of homemaking,
• Role Changes for Mums ie adding the provider role to that of homemaker,
• Role Changes for Dads ie being the breadwinner and an involved Dad,
• Where does the day go? - a glimpse at the life of a full-time-at-home parent
• Time Management for Parents
