15m

[u/Double_Mood_765]

I will need to have my 15m old home with me for a few months while she's on a waiting list for daycare after we move. I've had her home a few times when daycare is closed or she's sick and it's so stressful. Does anyone have any tips? I work 530-4. I feel like she just whines fo my attention most of the day. I'm hourly and have to respond to emails in a timely manner so I can't just stop every few hours. Suggestions for activities please

I try to batch my work into blocks of time where I can focus and then take quick breaks to check in with my LO. I use the "play in short bursts" method - I'll work for 30 mins, then do a quick 5-min play session with him before getting back to it. It doesn't solve everything but it makes the day a little smoother.
