Yes, Working Mom magazine's June issue is out!!! I know, I know, you're reeling from tuition fees and school supplies shopping and a magazine just ain't on your priority list. But -- and I'm not just saying this because I'm the editor-in-chief -- the tips here will save you a lot of bucks, and stress.
You know how crazy it is to ferry a kid to school by 7 am? There's a checklist that prevents the most common "emergencies" that can explode exactly when everyone's too sleepy to think. (Hey, if your child misses the school bus and your yaya has to take him in a cab, you've already spent more than you would've on the magazine, hahaha!)
Dreading the daily homework battle? Hey, it doesn't have to be a battle. Find the best study techniques for your child's personality. He'll work faster. You'll stop yelling.
And as for the article on spotting the hidden signs that your teen's in trouble -- it helped a family even before the magazine went to print. A good friend of mine's been complaining for months about her son's "laziness." He hates school. Sleeps all the time. Since he was otherwise a "good" kid, she thought it was just a "motivation" problem. When I shared the info, she was suitably alarmed to go through his room when he was away. She found drugs, hidden in a sock.
Come, get it. Then tell us what you think -- would so love to hear from you! You can email me at dedet.panabi@abs-cbn.com (or mwm@abs-cbn.com, the magazine's "official" address) or post right here.
