Recommendations to families on how to combine working from home with caring for young children

Highlights

One of the current measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 is to stay home. For many people this has meant continuing their work remotely. In some cases, this has meant moving their businesses or enterprises into their home.

Additionally, many children are not attending nursery, kindergarten, or elementary schools, and, consequently, families are responsible for assisting them with their educational activities.

Here are some recommendations that can help you during this time while working from home.
