In the July 27 episode, Ginger, 42, discussed how she strives to maintain a connection with her two sons: Adrian, seven; and Miles, five; while she’s away.
“My intention is to make sure they know, if with all these things I do…they need to know that they are the priority even when Mommy’s not here, and having a connection with children and an attachment period, which is so important, the TV personality told host Frank Elaridi.
And Ginger does have a lot on her plate as she juggles her duties at the studio, frequently traveling on assignments, and recently teased that she’s writing her third book.
But the daytime TV host admits she worries about not being there for her boys and makes a point to connect with them regularly.
“I’m terrified of doing that wrong, and so I’ve worked extremely intentionally of how to set that before I leave and when I come home and as I go between,” she said.

SPECIAL VISITOR
In June, she appeared to find a way to mesh her personal and work lives when she had her eldest son, Adrian, on set.
Fans were shocked to see the youngster on camera with his famous mom as she delivered the weather forecast.
“I’ve got my little guy here. This is Adrian,” Ginger said before Adrian ran into her arms.
“And coming up, this is what we’re talking about. Now that school’s out, how parents can slow kids’ Summertime Brain Drain,” she continued.
“Do you have brain drain yet, with one day off?” Ginger asked her son.
“No,” he shook his head.
“No? Not yet. We did some addition this morning,” Ginger let viewers know.
Adrian remained beside his mother as she talked about the other topics coming up.
The program then went to commercial, and he didn’t appear again for the rest of the broadcast.
FAMILY DAY OUT
Weeks later, Ginger shared an Instagram photo of her sons and mother at Legoland after taking a few days off from work.
The little ones smiled while holding stuffed animals they won playing an amusement park game.
Ginger gushed over the day in her caption: “They both won! Not just yoshi plushies from the carnival game but winning with Mimi in town @roofustee @legoland.newyork #yoshi.”
Her colleague, Sam Champion, 61, had covered for the star on GMA so she could spend time with her family.
