Working from home with your children around?
Your kids are bored and want to play outside but they can't?

NOT EASY for any of us!

Try taking 20 minutes doing something the kids choose – like playing a game or reading - together with them.

No phone or TV so you can focus on them.

Quality time will make them feel safe and loved.

Exercise helps kids with a lot of energy (and adults) to de-stress when we #StayAtHome.

Let your child choose the music and have a 10-minute dance! You might even impress them with your moves! 💃🏽🕺🏽👯

Catch bad behaviour early and redirect your kids' attention from a bad to a good behaviour.

Clear, positive instructions get us the behaviour that we want. Swap ‘don’t make a mess’ for ‘please put away your pens’

Praise is powerful.

Try praising your child or teenager for something they have done well.
Do it in a genuine way.

They may not show it, but you’ll see them doing that good thing again.

A structured day helps kids feel secure and makes it easier to manage them.

Try making a timetable, with schoolwork, games, free time, exercise and handwashing.
Take charge of your days - routine up!

Crowded and messy home?
Kids crying?
Teenagers screaming?
Back-to-back online meetings?

Take a deep breath.
Take a break.
Do something for yourself.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of your children

Talk to your children about #COVID19.
It’s hard for them not to hear about it.

Silence & secrets do not protect our children. Honesty & openness do.

Think about how much they will understand. You know them best.
