I was thinking about raising this subject too. I am in the same situation - two kids 4 and 8. Me and my wife are both working from home. Few things we do 1) wake up early, get most of the work done while they are asleep - usually 3-4 hrs. And another couple during their afternoon nap time. 2) split the rest of the day between the two of us so that one of us works, and the other looks after/plays with them. 3) We have quite a few books/board games/legos in the house which helps. Also give them drawing/coloring time. I would say stock up on coloring supplies and give them a free hand. 4) we limit their TV time to 1-1.5 max hr per day. No other screen time. 5) With a toddler it is really difficult as they need constant attention. One thing we do is to encourage the elder one to involve the younger one in his pretend play. That works out for some time :). Even with all this, along with the household chores, it is really tough to make it through the day. One more suggestion is to clearly delineate your work time from your home time. Avoid working while having coffee/lunch/snack, talking to your wife. These small moments sap into you which you could otherwise use to recharge. Over the day, over many days, they add up.
