The Importance of Routine for Work-Life Balance

Establishing a consistent daily routine is essential for parents working from home to create a stable environment for their children. A structured schedule helps children manage their time and understand what to expect, which can reduce anxiety and enhance their ability to engage in independent play. One mother shared that implementing a morning routine allowed her kids to thrive during remote learning, providing them with designated time for educational activities followed by play. This not only empowered her children but also increased her productivity as she knew there would be periods where she could focus on her work without interruption.
