Actress, TV host and producer Alison Sweeney: “When I am with my kids, I set aside my smart phone and focus on what we are doing together”

…The most important element is attention — when I am with my kids, I set aside my smart phone and focus on what we are doing together. I don’t want the kids to grow up thinking it’s okay to always be distracted by the constant bombardment of info on my phone.


As a part of our series about “How extremely busy executives make time to be great parents” I had the pleasure to interview award-winning actress, TV host and producer Alison Sweeney, who is currently co-creator, executive producer and star of “Chronicle Mysteries” for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The fourth movie of the series premieres on August 25 and continues to combine her passion for true crime podcasts with serial storytelling. Sweeney, who began acting at age 4, is also known for her longstanding roles as Sami Brady on “Days of our Lives” and as host for 12 seasons of “The Biggest Loser.” She’s an Ambassador to American Humane Association and Stand Up 2 Cancer, as well as on the Entertainment Council for Feeding America.
