Playing With Friends
Making time for kids to play with friends is an important task for parents. Work-at-home moms, in particular, may be reluctant to host play dates because it might interfere with work.

Audio Books
While some younger children can’t sit still long enough to listen to an audio book, kids who do learn to appreciate the arts of storytelling and literature before they can read. Older kids who are not strong readers can benefit too. Audio books can be an important part of a work-at-home mom's repertoire of independent activities.
