If there’s anything this quarantine has showed us, it’s that we can do
surprisingly more remotely. And this may be an important turning point
for many companies who may have once been reluctant to let employees
work from home. Whether you will be allowed that flexibility or not, there
are small efforts that can manifest big changes in how much exposure we
have with our kids, and ultimately impact the quality of quality time we
share with them. Here are at least five places to start.
• Work together. Now that kids are being homeschooled, work
alongside your child doing something that doesn’t require your full
concentration. This obviously depends on the age of your child, as
it would be close to impossible to accomplish even the most menial
tasks chasing a restless toddler. But if your child is old enough to do a
page of homework, bring down your laundry and file receipts next to
your child.
