[quote=Anonymous]Here’s how we made it work- my kids are out of the house now so mainly this was pre-pandemic/telework. 1. Few activities. They probably just had one each at any one time. 2. Lots of independence and responsibility. The kids did their own laundry from 8 or 9, and cooked a meal a week from 12 or 13. They took themselves to activities on their own by bus or bike from 12 onwards. They walked to school on their own from 9 onwards. 3. We had a nanny from 3 to 6 for a couple of years during the worst of it. It wasn’t easy but the kids don’t seem any the worse for it. Indeed, they adapted to college much better than many of their peers. I think we infantilize kids in this country.[/quote]
