about what exactly their role is
and should be during these times.
It is a time to play with the
children? (In some families He =
fun with die kids while Mom is
away and She = caring for the kids
and protecting the house from the
chaos that children may create.)
Is it a special time beotuse Dad
is home? Or, is it time to maintain
the tegular routine of the family
life? It is a time for work on
household repairs? Mothers may
have their ideas about how fathers
should be spending these times.
It’s important to communicate
expectations of Dad’s role during
these times.

Home alone time is a positive
opportunity to build a closer rela
tionship with children. Here are
some tips for “Home Alone Dads”
from Family Information
Services.
• Have minimal expectations
to the day - don’t expect to get
too much done.
• Take a break from each other
with a nap or movie.
• Be sensitive to children’s pace
and give them some sense of
control.
• Spend some time doing what
the kids want to do.
• Get over playing neatly. Mes
ses are OK.
• Spend some time cleaning up
together.
• Share some care with a
neighbor.
• Remind yourself that child
hood is brief and won’t last
forever.
• When children are demanding
time, be clear with them about
when and what you will do with
them, (e.g., In ten minutes we can
go out and play.)
• Help children clean up instead
of getting into a battle.
• Make a plan for the day with
your child so that you can both
decide what will be fun.
• Have a positive outlook.
• Pace yourself to get through
the day.
• Find a support system ...
someone to do things with or call
if you need to talk to someone.
• Have realistic expectations
about what you can accomplish
and how children might help.
