Best Practice: Working From Home With Children1905111430019051114300-10667992105025How to Work More Productively Working from home for a longer period is generally stressful. With children, the challenges and worries are even greater – especially if you have to cope with everyday life without the support of your grandparents. This checklist gives you ideas for working efficiently at home with children.1. Take Turns With Your PartnerIf both parents work from home, as is currently the case with many households, you can arrange shifts to look after them. In the mornings, the mother looks after the children and in the afternoons the father – or vice versa. Of course you can also extend this principle to whole days.2. Agree on Rules TogetherIn order not to create the feeling of a holiday, you should set clear rules during this quarantine time. Get up together at the usual time, go through the planned tasks for the day and when these have been completed, the more fun activities can begin. It is also useful to define working rules, for example: When are you parents available for questions? Your children need to understand that they cannot simply interrupt video conferences, for example. Instead, they should write down their questions and ask them later.Important: The home office quarantine is not an easy time for your children either and, depending on their personality, it can be stressful and emotionally challenging for them. Therefore, despite all the rules, don't be too strict with them (or yourself). 3. Create a Schedule for and With Your Children To keep your children's everyday life as normal as possible, structure is important – no matter how old they are. This not only regulates the kids' everyday life, but also gives structure to your day. The schedule should include schoolwork, breaks, mealtimes and leisure activities. For example, the evening before, create a board together with tasks for the next day. This could look something like this:To-dosIn ProgressDoneSchool task 1School task 2Break: 30 Min. Tidy up your closet4. Let Your Children Help With the Housework With older children, it is worthwhile to distribute tasks in the household. Depending on their age, these may include setting the table, washing the dishes or helping with cooking. In this way, you give your children focus and responsibility so that the home office routine runs smoothly.5. Maintain Contact With Friends and FamilyAt home it can be boring for kids, who miss their friends and want to talk to people other than mum, dad and siblings. Plan Skype conversations with school or daycare friends, but also family members like grandma and grandpa, so that your children don't feel socially isolated and to create variety. 6. Keep Moving Staying active is as relevant to you as parents as it is to your children as it releases excess energy. Be active together – either outside, as far as allowed by authorities, or do a workout together at home.On you will find hundreds of free workouts with different levels of difficulty. While you are doing something for your fitness (or possible tension), your children can take part in easy exercises to get the hang of it.

Then you can relax in front of the TV, the laptop or the tablet.
