Press Release Body = Boston, MA, September 18, 2006 - From packing lunches, to
carpools, to helping with homework, many parents find themselves with little family
time and even less personal time. "Ten Ways to Make More Time for Your Kids", the
top ten list from FamilyEducation.com, provides parenting tips and expert advice to
save time during the hectic back to school season

Family Education is the leading online publisher of educational expertise, practical
guidance, and grade specific (K-12) information for a child's learning and school
experience.

The list was created by a group of Minnesota moms and dads who organized a community
group, Family Life First, aimed at restructuring people's lives to create more time
for interaction, recreation, and relaxation. Tips focus on a variety of methods for
finding time for family fun, from the classic "turn the television off during
dinner" to "make sure kids get enough sleep."

Other tips suggest that scheduling is vital for a stress-free life. Limiting parent
and children activities to one at a time may at first seem troubling, especially if
your children do multiple after school activities. However, having your children
make difficult decisions is a great learning experience and will immediately begin
to free up schedules for fun family activities.

"Following these and other parenting tips can help create a fun family environment
that parents and children can enjoy together," said Jess Brallier, Publisher and
General Manager, Family Education Network. "In our rapidly changing world, parents
often forget the importance of interaction and conversation between family members.
These tips encourage a less rushed, more relaxed family life."
