Structure and Spend Quality Time with Your Kids

New from Julie Morgenstern

In Time to Parent, the bestselling organizational guru takes on the ultimate time-management challenge―parenting, from toddlers to teens―with concrete ways to structure and spend true quality time with your kids.

Would you ever take a job without a job description, let alone one that requires a lifetime contract? Parents do this every day, and yet there is no instruction manual that offers achievable methods for containing and organizing the seemingly endless job of parenting. Finding a healthy balance between raising a human and being a human often feels impossible, but Julie Morgenstern shows you how to harness your own strengths and weaknesses to make the job your own. This revolutionary roadmap includes:

A unique framework with eight quadrants that separates parenting responsibilities into actionable, manageable tasks―for the whole bumpy ride from cradle to college.

• Simple strategies to stay truly present and focused, whether you’re playing with your kids, enjoying a meal with your significant other, or getting ahead on that big proposal for work.
• Clever tips to make the most of in-between time―Just 5-15 minutes of your undivided attention has a huge impact on kids.
• Permission to take personal time without feeling guilty, and the science and case studies that show how important self-care is and how to make time for it.

In her most recent book, Time To Parent: Organizing Your Life To Bring Out The Best In Your Child And You (Holt Paperbacks, available now), Julie extends her organizational skills to time management for parents, designed to help them organize their time by bringing more balance and productivity to family life, work time and self-care. Based on her years of field work and nearly a decade of research on the science of human development, Time To Parent presents a framework that frees parents to savor time with their kids and on their own, from birth through college. While organizing our material possessions is important, Julie recognizes that it is how we spend time that often brings the most joy to our lives and provides timely solutions and actionable guidance so critical now with more women and men than ever juggling family, career, and other obligations.
