A Guide to Maximum Efficiency in the Familial Environment

By Julia Tung

Your children need to be prepared for the formalities of the business family and the business world, so it is important to introduce them to Google Calendar and Gmail as soon as possible. However, exposing them to the internet too early in life can be dangerous, so proceed with caution. When your children do begin to use mobile devices and computers (recommended around 15 years of age) shift communication to the internet. Should your child need a ride home from school, they must be required to send you an email or invite you to a calendar event. In this way you will limit unnecessary back and forths over cellular phone and be able to easily fit them into your busy, adult schedule.
