If you offer classes (like a children’s center, YMCA, art classes, etc.), have them taught as short online versions for people that are sheltering in place or need entertainment for their children. The plan should be loose enough to account for changes, but your livestream sessions should be structured and scheduled in advance.

Case Study: The lost art of writing. Writing is an art people can do well if they practice. Handwriting feels foreign to most of us.

For example, when I taught studio classes, ages ago, I often did projects at home, because I wanted my children involved.

I can just imagine the headline: CHILD MOLESTERS CALL ON ART, VICTIMS. Structure the space with a clear story (and commensurate rules). Structure means context, and context means norms that people can easily grasp and deal with. Children's museums are the exception; staff are on the watch for unaccompanied adults and kids alike.
