How to be a working Mom without Stress
It is not easy to be both a mother and a working woman. The goal to find the work and life balance can be elusive as
it means how to carry on working without feeling a nervous, guilt-consumed wreck who feels she is both failing as a mom
and as an employee. Jackie Newhall, a branch manager of Allied Mortgage Groub. Juggled between work from 5.30 am to 11.30pm.
She has one child and most of the time feels stressed and worn out. She later applied for the Balance Makeover Contest and finished
off as a winner. Here are some tips from the real life example of Jackie Newhall.
1. Stop criticizing yourself -Mai Vu of More Please! Life Coaching said that a mother in a globalization age does not need to be home at alltime.
Being a good mother means to be a good role model and help your child make a good, righteous judgment.
So, stop blaming yourself if sometimes you are late for work or get home late.
2.Create order- Make your home a comfortable environment. Ann Bingley Gallops of Organized Life suggested Jackie to organize her kitche,put
a few more cabinets for toys storage,post a to-do list on the refrigerator and build a shoe cabinet near the garage so she would not trip over
her stilettos in the living room.
3.Help at Home - Asking for help is not a weakening sign of being an efficient mother. instead , it helps you to delegate
work efficiently with out spreading yourself too thin. Ask your family members to help for a special occasion like your
child's birthday.
4.Eat Right - Jackie always makes sure your husband and her child would have a balance diet and neglects what she
eats. She ends up eating high carb-food without fruits or vegetables during work. If frozen food is inevitable, go for low
fat food with vegetables as main ingregient. Keep your sodium intake as low as possible. Never miss out calcium too.
5.Ask for Help - Some people cannot bring themselves to ask for help as they don't trust anybody. Jackie never delegates
work to any of her employee. The result is she has to do everthing by herself and feel spent at the end of the time.
This is not the right attitude.
6.Less Stress - A working woman is prone to stress especially when she is overwhelmed with work and personal life. Jackie
finally asks her boss to hire a secretary for her to help out so she could feel less stress.

Parents can train their child to treat nature with care by teaching them to appeciate the wildeness and the green. For example, you might make a comment about the weather:" The weather is so good today!" or "How good it is we have birds singing for us every morning." You can also teach them by action i.e. ask them to help you grow plants and take care of trees and flowers, read them a book about nature,plants and animals to make them see the significance of these natural beings,take them for an outing in nature. If you see your child having an inappropriate behavior like picking out flowers in a park, You should talk to them and let them know that this is not a right thing to do.
