Synopsis

My mom is really busy! Mom can do a thousand things at the same time. But sometimes, Mom says time flies by too fast. So Mom finds the time to be just with us! Maggie and Ethan's mom has a busy schedule filled with packing lunches, carpools, and work emails. When Maggie and Ethan seem to be growing up too quickly, their mom slows time down with a tickle fight, watching the clouds float by, or taking a family walk in the woods. A Note to Parents and Caregivers by Julia Martin Burch, PhD, provides strategies for creating and savouring family time amid a busy schedule.
