Here are some bullet points of my devising based on the article at WebWorkerDaily
1. Deal with the “door” - do you leave it open so your kids can be seen? If not, why are you working at home?
2. Make it the kids’ office too so they have something to do there besides interrupt you when you’re on the phone or trying to get things done.
I’ve noticed that even if you’re working and they’re reading a book, they feel they’re “with you”. One way to do that is to…
3. Pass on your old computer and put some resources on there that will benefit them.
4. Adapt to their schedule.
5. Be up front with customers.
6. Set limits… you ARE the parent, remember?

it’s just depends on how you deal with kids, most are easy to be told just like my niece danakeith.. so it is good that you let your nephew in.
