Active parenting today requires more and mored dedication along with good time management skills. There are very few stay at home parents or single income household. With the cost or living ever increasing families can not afford to have a parent stay at home to take care of the kids and both parents are forced financially to work outside of the home. Two income families are just the norm now a days. Active parenting today is harder for parents more then ever.
What are some daily basic things that a parent needs to do to just get through a work day?
Wake up early to prepare lunch for not just yourself but usually your children
Get yourself and your children dressed and ready to go
Manage to get all the lunches and family members in the car
Drop the children off at school or daycare and then hurry off to your own job so you are on time
Let's not forget that coffee or breakfast stop
This is what most parent do today before they even start working.
Active parenting today can be very difficult with the day to day demands on a parent come the additional stress of a job and making a relationship with your spouse and children work. With every buddy running crazily in and around a house and coming and going it is difficult to find family time. For many families sitting all down together during the week for dinner is not a reality. People are eating their meals later and later and there is less time to prepare and cook meals. Many families now a days eat prepared meals just to get by during the week. Everybody is on the go breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

It might mean that you are involved with getting them to their sports or activities and watch them at these events
It might mean that you sit down with them every night to go over their homework or help them when needed
It might mean that you are a divorced parent but commit all your spare time on the weekend or during the week to spend time with you child.
