Make a Schedule…so you don’t go stir-crazy!
Parents recommend that during this time – it helps to make a schedule and break down the long day into time slots with activities. You can create this plan together with older children. While there will be times for activities to do together, make sure to schedule in some personal time, where your kids are doing things on their own such as coloring, making things, reading, etc. But, be loose about it, rest and relax.
Make a list of all the things you’ve always wanted to do but never had the time.
Refer to your list throughout this period and see if any are what you feel like doing in this moment.
