If you're a parent working from home, there are many things to consider to make the transition as easy as possible for both of you.

Then, divide your day into chunks, and create activities that your children can do on their own.

Prioritize work which requires your complete attention, and plan activities to keep the child engaged while you work.
Communication skills

Screen time
It's a great way to establish limits on your child's use of the computer and other electronic devices. They can decide when they want to use the device and not become dependent on it. You can also use a schedule to help you stay on task with other tasks.
Babysitting older children
If your child is older, you may ask a sibling to babysit while working from home. Although this arrangement may be convenient, it is important to establish clear expectations. You can create rules for TV watching, visiting, answering the phones, and other things. You can also set rules for how disputes are handled.
Make sure to plan ahead
Working from home with kids isn't easy, and there are some common problems that can crop up. You can make it easier to work remotely with children by having someone else care for them while you work. You can share the caretaking duties with your partner so you have more time to work. You can even take the kids outside for a walk or play time.

Which parenting style should you be most proud of in America?
The traditional family isn't as popular today than it was 50 year ago, because of changes in families. Children are being raised by parents who have less involvement. They want to spend time on themselves instead of spending time with their kids. This is called helicopter parenting. It's where parents hover around their children 24/7. They make sure they are always watching over their children. They make sure their children eat right, exercise properly, get to sleep at night, and so on. This type of parenting causes a lot stress for parents and kids. The kids feel like they're missing out, while the parents feel guilty that they're not there every day.
The problem with this parenting style is that it doesn't teach kids how take care of themselves. This type of parenting makes them dependent on adults for everything. Instead of teaching independence parents are teaching dependence. Children learn to depend on adults for their success. They can blame themselves if they fail.
This causes children to feel insecure and worthless. They believe they are failures because they didn't live up to expectations. In addition, they don't have self-confidence as they weren't taught to cope with failure.
Another reason why this type of parenting isn't so popular anymore is that there are fewer two-parent households. When both parents work outside the home, it makes it harder for them to be available to their kids. Many parents end up raising their children by themselves.
Nowadays, parents want their kids to be happy and healthy. They don’t want to worry about whether their kids get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. They want to focus on their own lives. They hire tutors, nannies and other caregivers to look after their children.
They don't want to micromanage every aspect of their child's life. They don't want their kids to think they can never make mistakes. They want them to learn and make mistakes again.
