Kid 1: has to exercise every day, and read. I also want him to do some other stuff, like programming on line, writing, or projects. But for now, he has been reading for an hour to six a day, so that's good enough. He's doing a weight training workout with my husband 4x a week and joining the dog walks on other days.
Afternoons are for Fortnite.
Kid 2: same. He has been mostly doing Cosmic Kids Yoga every morning, and joining me for walks in the afternoon or doing the evening dog walk. Sometimes he'll do calisthenics instead.
For school stuff: reading every day (30 min), then another school thing every day (Dreambox, Lexia, writing, math pages) every day. He also does legos. Afternoon: TV or video games.
This way husband and I each get a good solid 4-6 hours of work in the afternoon, and a couple of broken hours in the morning. We each try to interact with the kids in the morning when they are off electronics - games, snuggles, talking, whatever.
Weekly fun:
- Tuesday we have started "beach morning". In the early morning, 8:30-ish, beach is empty except for this large group of older folk walking. I take kid #2 and we can plop down with our towel and bucket and play. We take a bag of toys and a towel. We play for about an hour and a half. Husband joins us later and we swap. I leave around 10 to shower and start work, husband stays until 10:30.
- Takeout on Wednesday.
- Weekend longer dog walks.
These regularly scheduled things help break up the monotony of the work / no camp week.
