Working at home with kids means life is sometimes crazy! Anderson wanted to be held and I was working on the computer for a bit… so mama did some problem solving!
We have three kids within the ages of 9 and 1 year… so that means that we have a wide range of attention to keep throughout the day.
The girls are older and are a little easier to keep on task, but Anderson is our youngest and takes a lot more entertaining.
If you are trying to navigate working from home right now with your kids around here are some tips:

5 Tips to Keep Your Kids Busy at Home
1- Activity bins or baskets.
This work really well for my 6 year old. She likes to be close, but can work on something with a little guidance.
.
2- Reading time.
This works really well for my 9 year old. She loves listening to audio books and following along in her physical book.
.
3- Learning apps.
These work great for both my 6 & 9 year old. They love time on these apps and I’m right there to monitor.
.
4- Block Schedules.
Schedule a time for everything you need done. If it isn’t scheduled, it won’t happen (I promise! Even good intentions won’t do).
.
5- Learn to PIVOT!!!!
If it isn’t working… pivot and try a new strategy. Understand that the end goal never changes – but there are multiple ways to learn… to get work done…
and that’s what’s great about working from home… embracing FLEXIBILITY
