Working remotely is challenging. But when combined with the full-time job of entertaining, feeding, and caring for my child, I\u2019m overwhelmed and exasperated. As a parent to a boisterous toddler (with another one on the way!), I have no clever manual for how to balance both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My carefully crafted schedule is thrown out the window, idealized parenting techniques ignored, and hours of once-forbidden screen-time consumed. There\u2019s no right way to deal with a crisis like this, but I\u2019ve learned quite a few lessons- and so have my team members at Lemonade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some tried and true hacks that can make the difference between a good day and an awful one. They won\u2019t all work for every family or child, but they may help ease some of your strain as we all navigate these new changes, responsibilities, and schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Come up with a game plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Have a conversation with your partner in childcare and come up with a schedule for your own work. I try hard not to get caught up in maintaining the way things <\/span>used<\/span><\/i> to be. These are unchartered waters, and we\u2019ve got to make do with what we can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I recommend creating shift work and setting up a designated workspace. Choose a spot in your home that is quiet and comfortable. I’ve found our garden table to be a great temporary office. No solution is going to be perfect, so if something doesn\u2019t work, get creative, and try again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, all of this applies to your partner\u2019s work as well, Avital Schreiber-Levy, a parenting performance coach, told me. Honoring both of your work times (and personal \u2018me\u2019 time) is vital to your family as a whole. Schreiber-Levy said it best:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s simply impossible to multitask parenting and important work, and it would not do either of your roles justice to try.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tell your partner how you can protect their work time, and help them do the same for you. This is a great time to shine together. <\/span><\/p>\n

For one of my team members Silvi S., noise-canceling headphones are her tool of choice:<\/p>\n

“When I wore headphones at work, my team knew I was in the zone. Now, I use the same signal with my partner at home,” <\/span>she said.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve also found that it helps to be picky with<\/span> Zoom calls<\/span><\/a>, which have the potential to eat up all of your working hours. Decide which calls are essential, and which ones can be solved without a meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Teach your children to play alone <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Looking back, my pre-corona lifestyle had been pretty hectic, especially for my toddler. This experience made me realize that he demands <\/span>a<\/span><\/i> lot <\/span><\/i>of attention and constant interaction. Because of this, I\u2019m trying to lean into independent play, which can have serious benefits- not just for his own development, but for my necessary blocks of child-free time to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allocate a specific block of time to play with your children, recommends Dr. Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D., author of <\/span>Playful Parenting. <\/span><\/i>The key is to show up with no plan. Let your kids lead, but encourage their play. Once time is up, the kids tend to continue alone, feeling good about themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, you don\u2019t need to supervise your kid\u2019s play the whole time. Schreiber-Levy can help you master this balance with her <\/span>Play Guide<\/span><\/a>, which offers practical resources to play with kids during lockdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Cohen also recommends being involved as your child plays. For instance, I give my toddler a challenge: Setting up a tea party in a tent we built for him. Once I free up, I take the time to enjoy playing in the tent with him. So if your kid wants your attention when you\u2019re busy, challenge them to something you can participate in later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Schedule, schedule, schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In case you didn\u2019t already know, routines can improve your health- and they don’t always need to be \u2018boring.\u2019 Until this crisis, I didn\u2019t know how much I needed a good ol\u2019 routine. They can give your kids a sense of security, especially during a crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>A predictable<\/span> rout<\/span>ine<\/span> allows children to feel safe, and to develop a sense of mastery in handling their lives,\u201d<\/span> I read in Aha Parenting, a popular parenting blog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my colleagues, Jorge E., Lemonade\u2019s Chief Business Development Officer, confirmed this- he finds that scheduling blocks of family time throughout the day helps him maintain a balance between work and kids.<\/span><\/p>\n

When chatting with Yael C., VP of BizOps at Lemonade, she recommended creating a schedule that combines play and learning:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe give stickers for studying language, math, and science throughout the week. If you get 15 stickers a week, you get to go to \u2018the treasure box.\u2019\u00a0 There, you can pick one item, usually small LEGO sets or puzzles.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Schedules aren\u2019t only vital for kids- they also help create some routine in our own lives. Some of the most famous writers, like T.S Eliot, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, depended on a set daily routine for success, according to the <\/span>Harvard Business Review<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I set an alarm every day, get dressed, make my coffee, and head to my designated workspace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Exercise\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A full day of commuting, work, and social commitments always exhausts me (and my toddler). But staying indoors all day long doesn\u2019t quite eat up the same energy levels. Good luck with nap time, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m lucky enough to have an outside area, so I try to encourage active play as much as possible. For those who don\u2019t, Schreiber-Levy recommends creating a safe space inside for kids to tumble:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cClear away furniture and then pile up soft things, like pillows, cushions, yoga mats, and sleeping bags. With any luck, the kids will end up making a fort that keeps them entertained for hours.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While your kids blow out some energy, make sure you do the same for yourself. Keeping up with regular exercise can actually boost your immune system, according to a recent study by the University of Bath.<\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need a fancy gym, either. I get creative in my home – I\u2019ll run up and down the stairs (or hall) or turn on music and have a dance party. If you prefer classes, just Zoom into your favorite pilates or yoga teachers — my sister is a personal trainer and is offering all <\/span>her classes<\/span><\/a> right now for free (shameless plug!).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Embrace technology\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ever since I gave birth, I\u2019ve been debating screen time- and made a pact with my partner to ban screens for as long as possible. But according to <\/span>The New York Times<\/span><\/i>, the debate is well and truly over. The winner? Screens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found technology is now my best friend as I juggle a full-time job and parental responsibilities. Naturally, small babies are in a different category, but leveraging technology in the right way for kids who are two and older can be a lifesaver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After chatting with other Lemonade parents, I discovered <\/span>Storyline Online<\/span> – an incredible resource with popular kids books read by actors. This little trick encourages literacy, while freeing up some much-needed time while I work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PBS Kids<\/span> is another useful resource, says Alex M., one of Lemonade\u2019s outstanding office admins (psst: she\u2019s a reason Lemonade was voted <\/span>one of the best places to work<\/span><\/a>). Thankfully, my kid is still in preschool, but if your kids are a little older and you want to provide schooling, try <\/span>Outschool<\/span>, a platform with over 10,000 live online classes for ages 3-18.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re missing out on a good dose of culture, some of the world\u2019s most <\/span>famous museums<\/span> have opened their virtual doors to kids via livestream. Or encourage your kids to pick up a new skill; Itamar K., one of Lemonade\u2019s Senior Fullstack Engineers, has his three kids learning Arabic live with a teacher and other kids from around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, you might prefer not having your kid attached to a screen for 12 hours a day, but I taught myself not to stress about it right now. Technology has been a lifeline for us to the outside world, connecting us with grandparents and aunts who live overseas – and we all have enough going on to not take advantage of that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Breathe in, breathe out\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Make no mistake, this is a challenging time for all of us. I\u2019ve been looking at (what appears to be) smug parents practicing flawless homeschooling on Instagram, and fallen down the “I\u2019m the worst parent in the world” hole since I don\u2019t enjoy having my kid around me 24\/7. But a word of advice- don\u2019t feel pressured to enjoy this. We all love our kids! <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nEveryone deals with a crisis differently, and it doesn\u2019t help to compare ourselves to anyone else. Our focus should remain on keeping everyone at home as safe and happy as possible in this difficult time. We\u2019re all doing our best. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
