How to Work From Home Productively (Balancing Work and Childcare)

05 Aug 2021

1. If possible, consider searching for outside assistance for some or all of your workdays.

2. Set a schedule for your children so that they understand the situation. Stick to it!

3. Plan low-involvement and high-payoff activities such as arts and crafts, board games, movie forts, etc.

4. Make snacks and lunches the night before and put them in a safe spot for easy hunger fixes.

5. Be patient. Working from home is new for the whole family. Stay calm as new challenges arise and you will prevail.

6. If necessary, manage your employer’s expectations and let them know that you’re working around children.
