A long summer holiday is wonderful, but children's holidays can be a headache for parents who don't have the opportunity to take a full holiday for several weeks: how to ensure their own concentration on work without their offspring spending their holidays with their noses glued to the screen?
At HopLop, remote working is possible in the restaurant area over a cup of coffee, and there are also tables, plugs and comfortable sofas throughout the park. So you can change seats in the middle of the day. From the central locations, it's easy to watch the children play and sometimes have a bit of fun yourself.
Six tips for a teleworking day
- A more relaxed teleworking day. If possible, plan your teleworking days in advance to be less busy than a normal working day. This will give you time for proper breaks with the children, which will also allow them to enjoy their own play more.
- The rhythm of the working day. For example, work for an hour and then do a 10-minute workout with the children. You'll have time to see the kids' new tricks and even jump on the trampoline yourself. You're guaranteed to stay energised all day.
- Avoid starvation. HopLop's restaurant serves tasty lunches and snacks for the whole group. Save time on cooking and cleaning up.
- Bring a friend for your child. Children tend to have more fun together in the playground, and you can concentrate on the work. You can also make life easier for your family of friends.
- Headphones on. The indoor playground is filled with screams of joy, so headphones can help you concentrate. But keep the volume down so you can stay aware of what's happening in the playground too. Wool socks are also a good accessory if your toes get cold often.
- Have mercy on yourself. Working with children is rarely as effective as working alone, and they don't necessarily cheer when you can't give them your full attention. But it's a temporary solution, and the most important thing is to give your children something fun to do and yourself the best possible peace of mind.
