(i) Use this leisure time to touch base or spend time with other relatives or friends. Of course, in these times, use your personal protection equipment and social distance.
(ii) Enjoy a hobby. Some hobbies that you can enjoy are reading, decorating, gardening, and exercising. These activities can help you take your mind off of the children for a while.
(iii) Ensure that your parenting plan allows for telephone or video contact with your child. Have a set time to check in with your child. For example, schedule a call an hour before your child’s bedtime.
Be respectful of the other parent’s time. Try not to call the child excessively or speak for extremely long periods, as this can be perceived as not respecting the parenting time of the other parent.
