Main Idea/Key Point 1: Divvy up the labor

During times of crisis, it is important for parents to reach out for and accept help. This can come from friends, neighbors, extended family, or even coworkers. Create a list of tasks that can be delegated to helpers, whether it's from outside sources or within your immediate household. Keep a sense of humor and be understanding if the helpers, especially children, do things differently than you. Divide and conquer strategically to lighten the load.
