"Hello! This is Jacqueline on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip I am going to offer you a list of tips for working at home when you have children around. Wake up early. Get up about an hour before the children do. Try to get some things done. Just try to get your day sorted out maybe do some stretching, maybe get your coffee, read the paper, plan your day out, make a to do list. If this is not possible and you are not really a morning person, then maybe stay up an extra hour at night and try to get some of this stuff done. It just helps a little bit to have some time while the kids are asleep. Give them your full attention when they wake up and this way they are not starved for your attention all day long. They have been addressed. Their issues have been dealt with and hopefully that means they will let you go a little bit of time before they start being demanding again. Have a routine and let your children know what the routine is or sit down and create the routine as a family and that way they are well aware of what your schedule is like and when they can expect some undivided attention from you. Be flexible though. Don't be so rigid in your schedule in that you can be fun with kids around. You can not afford to be too hard unless your business is so demanding, that you just absolutely have to block them out at certain times, then don't. Don't neglect them and don't forget why you chose to work from home so that you could be around your children don't let them get you so irritated that you just lose sight of everything."
