Does your child ever sit cross-legged and watch TV or play with a toy?

Mine will sit happily for 10-15m or so playing , then get up and move to the next thing. He has zero interest in tv beyond watching something around breakfast time while we’re getting everyone ready to get out the door when he’ll sit watching some Thomas for a few minutes.
My girl is gogogo! One thing to the next, running from room to room. SO BUSY! I’d say we would get 3-5mins max of her concentrating on something like books/toys/drawing and then she’s off again. She might be able to focus a little longer 5-10mins with us engaging with her throughout like doing stickers together. She has her own ideas and you can see her mind racing to the next thing. She’s learning lots and developing well so while sometimes I worry about her being hyper, I don’t think she is and is quite normal for her age and her personality has just always has that curious/wild nature. She happily sits for meals. She was rolling at 9 weeks and crawling by 5 months and pulling to stand by 7 months and then walking by 11, just wanted to move!!! No idea about tv as we’ve not introduced yet. I would say at 17 months to sit for 10-15 mins is quite long and might be a bit of tv conditioning?
It depends what she’s playing with! She wouldn’t ever do it on her own and for that long, but she can sit for maybe 5 minutes focusing on her playmobile - much longer if someone is sat playing with her obviously, but independently we maybe get 5 mins out of her 🤦🏼♀️🤣
My husband got our daughter a toddler chair off Amazon and she will sit in that to eat a snack and watch TV or she will take her books to it and still and read but it will only a few min or as long as she has snacks then she's back on the move 😂 she does focus for a while on ms Rachel videos but prefers to stand and watch them
My little girl would never sit still for that long 😅 she’s constantly on the move and basically feral at all times also causing riots 🤣
