In this episode, I sit down with Brittany Smith, an early childhood educator, to discuss strategies for parents working remotely with young children. Brittany shares practical tips on teaching kids independence, establishing boundaries, and promoting quiet time through various activities. She emphasizes the importance of creating structured routines, setting expectations, using visual cues like voice level charts and stop/go signs, as well as both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Additionally, she highlights the significance of consistency and patience. The discussion includes examples and advice for managing common challenges, encouraging positive reinforcement, and setting up effective home environments to help remote working parents balance their schedules, reduce stress, and support their child's development.
Brittany has nearly a decade of experience in early childhood and elementary education. She specializes in inclusion classrooms and differentiated instruction.
