My Top 7 Tips for
Working at Home with Kids
1. Teach your young children not to answer the phone. Working at Home with Kids
Failing that, use tip # 2.
2. Teach all of your children to say "Can you hold,
please?" and NOT "She's in the bathroom"
3. If you use the same computer as your kids, get them
one of the kid's desktop programs and put all their
games on it, so they will only have access to their own
files. You only have to have files accidentally deleted
once to appreciate this tip.
4. Try to plan all your errands that involve leaving the
house for one day a week. Then take them to the park for
a little while when the errands are done. They will look
forward to the errand day, instead of complaining.
5. Fix a tray of snacks in the morning and stick them in
the fridge so you won't constantly be stopping to fix
something for them. A water or kool-aid bottle in the
fridge will also help, and you won't be stopping to
clean up the spill when they try to pour it themselves.
6. Cook twice as much supper and freeze half for days
when you can't stop working to cook.
7. Keep a folder of subscription cards from magazines,
and other forms to be filled out, for the little ones,
so they can "work" with you when they insist.
