Plan some conscious leisure time to spend together
Together with your child, come up with as many ways to spend relaxing time together as possible. In the current situation, it requires additional creativity, but it is worth brainstorming. Some of the craziest ideas can turn into feasible actions. Remember to consider the needs and suggestions of all family members. Write down your ideas and put them in a visible place. Of course, you will not be able to do all the points on the list immediately. Choose one thing a day or decide that one day the parent is the one to choose the activity and the other day, the child. Take turns. The important thing is that the activity is pleasant for everyone.
Recharge your batteries
Being together all the time can make you dream of a moment of seclusion. Everyone needs a moment to breath and relax. Think about what really strengthens you instead of things that only isolate you from other household members. Is it a dozen or so minutes of physical exercise? Hot bath? Good book? Listening to music with undivided attention? Or maybe planting flowers? Make a list of your “rechargers” and suggest other household members do the same. Together, decide how you can support each other and take turns helping each other find time just for yourself. Remember that your energy level translates directly into the energy at home and your relationships with eachother. Let recharging your batteries become an important part of the weekly schedule.
