That’s why I’m sharing tips on working from home with kids & homeschooling. More & more moms are in the position of working from home with kids. If you want some ideas about the best way to work from home, keep reading.
Let’s be honest, working from home with kids presents a unique set of challenges and rewards. The constant juggling between work tasks and homeschooling can be demanding. Interruptions and distractions are inevitable, making it crucial to establish a well-structured routine and set clear boundaries. Despite the difficulties, being present for your children while fulfilling work commitments fosters a stronger work-life balance.
Focus while working from home with kids
Maintaining focus amid the joyful chaos of kids at home requires creativity and adaptability, especially when you are homeschooling, too. Designating a dedicated workspace helps create a separation between work and personal life. Planning your kids’ independent activities while you work can keep children engaged and allow you to recharge.
Flexibility working from home with kids
Flexibility emerges as a cornerstone of working from home with kids. Embracing a dynamic schedule acknowledges the ebb and flow of homeschooling & family needs. Integrating moments of shared productivity, like involving children in light tasks, nurtures their sense of responsibility and eases the daily juggle.
Emphasizing patience and self-care underscores the importance of balancing parental duties and professional responsibilities. This also models for your children the importance of patience & self-care in all of our lives.
Today I share ways I juggled our homeschool & kids activities while working from home with kids. Be sure to watch to the very end for 2 important tips for moms & work at home moms!
Juggling Family Activities when You Work & Homeschool
A few of my favorite tools to help you know how to homeschool and work full time :
- Toggl – Keep track of yoru working times with this simple timer app.
- Pomodoro method – Using the app or a simple timer, work 25 minutes. Then, take a 5 minute break to do things you need to do around the house. Possibly, empty the dishwasher, change the laundry from the washer to the dryer, clean the toilet or the mirror or bathroom sink, walk on the driveway and pray for your family.
One of my favorite ways of working from home with kids is to run an online business. In recent years, I’ve tripled my income with an digital course. Working from home gives me freedom to follow my passions and our family’s priorities. If this happens to you, consider working from home.
Does this ever happen to you?
Your friend keeps asking to pick your brain about something? You know, that thing you’ve become a little bit above average at?
- How to homeschool and know your kids will turn out okay
- Parenting or marriage advice that gives you peace & joy
- Advocating for a child in the foster care system
- Easy hacks for crafters (quilters, scrapbookers, cricuts)
- Marketing for local businesses to increase income
If that happens to you, I believe, you have a digital business inside of you. The digital business could shift some of the “money-earning pressure” off yourself & your family.
Because a digital is the easiest way to earn extra income and allow you to stay home with your kids.
