Over the last decade, as technology develops, more people are working from home, and a large percentage of those people are moms. Not only does it afford more time with the kids, but saves money on daycare. But working with kids around can lead to less productivity. A few ways to help offset this is to give them small task related to your work, this makes them feel included and offers a quiet opportunity to allow you to work. Set up an activities area for them to get creative and use cognitive skills. This might include craft supplies that are age appropriate, workbooks, whatever. Also, don’t be afraid to need time to work, play dates or hiring someone to watch the kids for a couple hours lets them interact with others and allows one to fully concentrate on work.
Key Takeaways:
- As a mom, it is hard to balance raising a child and working at the same time period.
- Kids are the light of a parents life but it comes at a cost to the working capacity of a parent.
- One of the hardest things for a mom to do is to keep their children engaged while they are not paying them a lot of attention.
“You can include a wide range of things for kids to do within this activity station. Having them do puzzles is an awesome idea that also helps to stimulate them cognitively. It may also be fun to include things like playdough or other art supplies to play with and be engaged.”
