Now that Spring Break is past and school is still out, it is time to start thinking about the daily routines of our new reality. Although some of our kids are thrilled about this unexpected "summer like" break, the reality is, our kids need structure during this unprecedented time. Many of you, like me, are working from home. Not only do our kids need to be engaged in productive activities that keep them on track educationally, we need to be able to get our work done too. The key is to build a schedule for your you and your kids.
