They should be doing assignments daily and also allow their parents to work from home.

Make a schedule of office hours

All these activities are based on life skills as well as it will keep kids busy.

Answer a countless number of questions at one time

Since all the parents have been working from home during Corona, which has been a blessing as something is happening when everything is on standstill.

But many young minds need enough stimulation and brain exercise to keep them mentally and physically busy.

Therefore, they revert to their mothers all the time. They ask them a thousand different kinds of questions every day. The most common and repetitive question kids ask is ‘when will this lockdown over?’, and so on and so forth.

Telling them the same thing, again and again, would be exacerbating for the mothers who are working remotely from home, managing groceries, and cooking.

And keeping to be as sane as possible. For logical parenting, you need to manage it intelligently. Give them a timetable in which you will be answering all their questions, and train of thoughts.

It could be in the evening before bedtime that would be ideal for quality time with kids
