KiddyCharts staff work from home. There are a lot more people working from home at the moment, and having to try and keep their children from interrupting them in mid conference call / meeting / zoom call. So – we’ve solved this problem for you. We have made some working from home doorhangers, so that you can show that there is a meeting in progress to anyone that needs to know. That way, there will be no more bursting in on calls without warning *probably*
The great thing about these meeting in progress doorhangers, is that they can be used both by you AND the kids too. So if your children decide that they want to have a bit of privacy while they are on a video call with their friends, they can borrow the doorhanger sign 😂 .
As always, let us share with you what the hangers look like, so you know before you download them:
We have provided two different designs for you to try. The phrases written on them are:
- Do not disturb, and
- Meeting in progress.
Alongside this, they have a communications icon on them as well – just to make doubly sure that anyone seeing them knows exactly what they mean 😂 .
Working from home can be a challenge with kids, so we really hope that this little printable will help to make things a little simpler for you. Don’t forget that we also have a kids planner too, which should help to make things a little bit easier too by helping to organise your children’s days. In addition, if you want a little more stucture to the day: why not also include a homeschool timetable as well? we have found that giving the children a little bit of a framework for the day can make a massive difference to engagement and attentiveness. This is particularly true if they are not used to a homeschool environment.
Anything that encourages kids to stay on task means that you will find you have less need for the meeting in progress signs…. The children are a lot less likely to interrupt you 😀 .

KiddyCharts has reach of over 1.1million across social and the site. The blog works with big family brands (including travel) to help promote their services, as well as offering free resources to parents of kids under 10. It gives 51%+ profits to Reverence for Life, who fund a number of important initiatives in Africa, including bringing running water and basic equipment to a school in Tanzania. Helen has worked as a digital marketing consultant (IDM qualified) with various organisations, including Channel Mum, Truprint, Talk to Mums, and Micro Scooters.
