- Create fixed time a day for home training, we are doing 3 x 25 minutes, 09:30-11:00
- One parent is home schooling, the other is free!
- After that: play time, live life!
- Get a lot of outdoor time if you can!
- Use this exceptional situation to do individual important and fun things: with us spelling with 10 sets of dictation every day, finally continue to do wood work together, “research lesson” on topics that are really interesting to the children.
- Involve children in cooking and housework.
- 5 minutes of cleaning 2 x a day all together (amazing what you can do and how much this contributes to overall well being!)
- Everyone in the family has 1-2 hours alone, every day.
- Creating a designated work area for parents and making clear agreements with the children on how we all deal with this place and working hours.
- Agreements on “trigger things”: for us it is how do we deal with tech use together?
- In the morning everyone talks through the day together and we create orientation. Who cooks when with whom, what appointments are there, who is home schooling, who works when, what else?
- Build routines: we have a morning and evening routine that everyone knows.
