[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you clarify the situation/concern? If it's split attention, I think that it's not that big a deal (I am often knitting or doing chores while I supervise my 1yo and 3yo playing in our home that is intentionally made largely safe for them) provided it's in a safe environment and he can/is paying close enough attention to avert serious injury. Kids really don't need constant engagement. I admit, I don't love the idea of earbuds; I think the kids should be able to hear whatever he's hearing and he should be able to hear them clearly. If it's screentime, I personally would consider it a bigger deal since I think little kids do better without it/with parents modelling not being addicted to their own screens but I also have a lot of sympathy for your DH because I spend a lot more time than I think it healthy on my phone.[/quote] Omg I also knit with my toddler! It’s a good option. The right level of distraction while still aware. [/quote]
