Be Fully Present When You Spend Time With Your Kids One of the hardest parts of working from home while homeschooling is having to set limits on when you can give your children your attention, and when they have to wait for it. It is a lot easier on them if you give them your full presence whenever you can. Put your phone away and don't check your work email while you are playing with them or teaching them. Then when you have to turn your focus to your work, you have already filled their cup and they will be a lot more understanding and patient. Image Source: Pexels / Andrea Piacquadio
