So. The kids are home, you’re home, your husband’s home – and you have no idea what you’re going to do with the kids all day.
It sounds like chaos to you, actually. (Since we’re being real here….)
There goes your nice, comfortable routine. No coffee in quiet; no peaceful lunches; no baby-and-me tickle sessions on the floor.
Instead, you’ll have everyone begging for a sip of your drink, the noise of a hundred voices raised in arguments over how their sandwiches were cut (or the leftovers you chose to serve that day), and the moment you get down on the floor to play with the baby by himself? Everyone piles on!
Yikes. No wonder we don’t want the kids back from school.
No wonder sometimes we rethink this whole “work from home” flex arrangement.
No wonder we just need a break.
But if this is you, and the kids aren’t going away (‘cause let’s be real – summer camp doesn’t cover all of summer!), let’s do something about it.
Let’s find out how to thrive at home when your routine is upended.
What you’ll learn:
· First thing: track your new normal
· What’s the real problem? Think root level here
· Find new solutions to new problems (even if they’re temporary ones)
All you need to do is try something. If it doesn’t work, no big deal! Just pick the next solution from your list and give that a go.
Really, it doesn’t have to be so hard.
We don’t have to strive to be perfect from the get go.
We’re allowed to just feel things through.
We’re human – and so are your kids. It’s perfectly natural to wish they’d give you peace and quiet.
So why don’t we set up your day, add some structure and boundaries, so that you do get what you need, instead of just whining about it?
That’s what an action-taker does. And I know you’re one of them.
What are you going to change today?
You’ve got this!
