Task organizing from home
Organising tasks for your children at home can be challenging. However, you can teach your child how to manage their time and prioritize tasks by giving them dedicated study spaces. These rooms should be free from distractions. So your child can concentrate on their work and you can supervise.
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. A schedule can also help you keep track of other tasks.
Babysitting for older children
If your younger child is able to care for you while you work, it's possible to ask an older sibling. Although this arrangement is convenient, it's important to be clear about your expectations. You can set rules about TV watching, homework, visitors, answering the phone, etc. You can also determine how you will handle disputes.
Plan ahead
