Great tips! And then there is my answer – Duct Tape! It keeps them down AND quiet LOL

I do like the idea of putting them to work in a way that lets them feel a part of your business. I’ve worked from home since my boys were 6 and it’s always worked well for me.

The biggest problem I face now is having four teens – two of which have never been a part of a WAHM home. It’s tough teaching the older ones compared to the younger ones.

Good list of tips Char. What I find most difficult is setting boundaries on the work thing. I work every spare minute and stay up way too late some nights. I love what I’m doing, so it’s difficult to stop and go to bed!

Dawud – the one thing I have finally learned to do is NOT answer business calls after business hours or better yet, on weekends. I am not as good about the strict business hours thing for the family yet, but I will need to this summer.

Caller ID – essential, absolutely. Keep calls about business during business hours.

I’ve found it’s vital for me to set rather strict work hours so that my family understands when I’m unavailable – as though I’m out of the house. I also understand the time frame I’ve agree to each day to get work done. Anything that strectches outside of the work day, usually means I’m missing sleep – not family time.

I wouldn’t trade working at home for anything. I love being able to see my kids in the morning and have lunch with them in the afternoon. What a great life.
