Having Children Help with Home Based Working Moms and Dads

Home based working moms have the advantage of their children seeing them work every day. No child wonders where mom or dad goes all day long because your office is likely to be right there in your dining room or in a spare bedroom (if you're lucky). Involve your children in your work (if you can) by giving them small chores to do that help you out. If you're doing a mailing, children can stuff envelopes. Older kids can help with filing and other office work as well as helping out directly in the business. Giving your children a chance to help out in the business teaches them valuable skills and lets them appreciate what you do all day.
