No one knows the future, but for sure, you are not alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">The small child depends on the inner calm of the adult<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nWe as parents are used to having our own space, at least when we go to work, meet friends, play sports. This adult time helps keep our family life balanced.<\/p>\n<p>Our inner balance, actions and attitude have the biggest influence on how our children feel and behave. So, what can we do to care for our children and ourselves?

Be aware, that each meal should be restful and nourishing for everyone!! No rush, no TV or radio even if you are looking for a break.<\/li>\n<li>learning and playing time for the children \u2013 be conscious about the different rhythms for younger and older siblings<\/li>\n<li>work and free time for mom and dad<\/li>\n<li>It might be helpful not to let the kids stay up late, so you as a parent have either individual or co- parent time together to reflect and prepare &#8211; or just to relax and enjoy.<\/li>\n<li>think through the next day(s)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Decide who will be responsible for:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>grocery shopping<\/li>\n<li>preparing meals<\/li>\n<li>cleaning and laundry<\/li>\n<li>taking care of siblings<\/li>\n<li>taking care of pet(s)<\/li>\n<li>gardening<\/li>\n<li>perhaps it is the right time to sort out old games, play material and clothing?<\/li>\n<li>and any other tasks that need to get done?<\/li>\n<li>finally, don\u2019t forget to make sure everyone gets some downtime!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once again, flexibility is required.<br \/>\nNot every plan works right away.
