1. Develop a schedule.  Coordinate with others to support the homeschool effort.  Scheduling tutoring session or “class-time” with older kids and or relatives/grandparents.

3. Maintain a routine, especially for the kids.  Function as a normal school day with breaks, lunch, PE, etc. 

4. Establish clear signs of working(signage, closed door, pre-scheduled meeting time) to minimize interruptions.

5. Allow children to participate in establishing their routine/schedule.

6. Communicate to your team/meeting participants possible distractions in your home work space. 

7. Establish breaks with the kids and make sure to have some downtime without them.
