In this Dharma Initiative-type ‘how to’ video, the Washington Post offers a unique and honest glimpse into the struggles that parents (in this case a dad) face as the shelter in place reality sits in.

Below are some quick tips we captured from the video.

Encourage your kids to be more independent. Allow them to dress themselves.
Get the kids involved in building a plan to structure the day.
You’re not a professional teacher, so don’t try to be one. Do your best.
Have fun, be fluid. Build a fort, make chores a game and be imaginative.
Make time for your own well-being. Create moments of mindfulness.
