Recently, I was having coffee with a friend. She, a successful manager and mother of two, gazed thoughtfully into her cup and said: "You know, sometimes I wonder what kind of role model I'm really being for my children - this constant feeling of never being fully present anywhere." Her words hit home. As parents today, we face an interesting paradox: We have more choices than ever before, yet also bear the significant responsibility of providing our children with a healthy role model.
