Ideas of what to do when stuck at your home with Kids.
What to do when a stay in your house order is in place and you have kids. The Corona Virus Quarantine School Closings is affecting most of the US and is worldwide as we all know too well now.
It is very very hard to be hunkered down in your house. The stress over everything can be overwhelming. If you have children it will be extra stress because you can’t take them anywhere , the Y’s are closed , museums, events and all places. So what do you do?
First take a little time to make a weekly plan. If you want you can structure it like school. Some schools will have online teaching and homework, but like around here in the rural areas it will be less of that and more you have to come up with ideas.
Take all or some of these ideas and mix them into your weekly schedule.
