As kids head back to school, LivCor parents are balancing a lot. How do they do it? We asked Ian Deason, whose children are starting 6th and 8th grade this year—
"Balance is really hard, and there is no one-size-fits-all perfect solution. I think it's important to prioritize consistent, small moments with your kids every day—like breakfast, or dinner, or dropping them off at school—and then let your colleagues know that you're reserving that time to be present at home, not at work.
People who care about you as a human will respect those time blocks, so then the only thing you have to worry about is that your kids might not want to set their phones down and hang out with you. (Teenagers!)"
We believe in a life-filled career, not a career-filled life. From strategy meetings to parent teacher conferences; driving results then driving to afterschool pick up; creating great places to live while creating great brown bag lunches. ✏️ 🚌 🥪
So, to the moms and dads whose to-do lists doubled in length because of back-to-school season (for real!)—make time to find those small moments this month. You've got this!
