Working from home with kids can be challenging, even when they are older and more independent. As the lockdown continues, many parents are currently walking on a tightrope between supervising their children, homeschooling and attempting to keep up with demands from their actual employed job.

To help you find the right balance and strategy we have summarised the top tips from experts such as teachers and productivity specialists on how to best manage.
