Working at home with children
Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 2:08 am
There are so many advantages to working at home with children such as saving on childcare fees and also having the priviledge of watching your child grow up. I don't want some stranger to have memories of my daughter growing up. It also teaches children about the concept of work and success because they are exposed to it from an early age.
Yet at the same time we need to have clear boundaries between 'work time' and 'play time'. I have a little desk set up for my three year old daughter right next to mine. It is great when she can be quiet while I am on the phone but sometimes that is not always possible. I am sure there are plenty of WAHM's and WAHD's out there in the same situation. What I would like to know is how you divide your day between showing your child(ren) attention and getting some serious work done.
Ideas please...
