13. Me Time
As we ended up spending most of the day with our family, the importance of me-time increased significantly. Reading, taking a relaxing bath, calling some friends, listening to our favorite song, or just doing nothing and releasing can be a lifesaver – even for our loved ones. Schedule at least a 30-min ”me time” on a daily basis for both yourself and your kids. This half an hour a day can help you to recharge and stay patient during these challenging weeks. Kids can use this time for anything they like, to let them unwind and relax.
14. Summarize And Plan Together
At the end of the week, sit down together to discuss and summarize what happened in the previous days. Everyone should share (the youngest ones might draw) their feelings and thoughts about what were the positive and negative things of the past days, what are the things that they would like to change and what frustrates them. Be understanding and patient and try to find a solution for everyone. Based on what you have discussed, make a plan for the next week and try to stick to it.
