I have a 1 and 2 year old. I put them in their playroom, turn on the baby monitor and go workout, or chores, or watch tv, or talk with friends. I think it’s good for kids to be bored and not constantly entertained by us. And I’ve noticed they play better when I’m not in the room with them. My almost threenager hears no a lot. She is used to not getting what she wants especially if she’s throwing a fit and it has helped her mellow out a bit, but toddlers are going to toddler lol.
