How do you manage WFH and little one?

Any tips other than having the TV on constantly? I don't really give my LO screentime, but today for example he's home sick from nursery and I'm working so I've let him watch for half an hour. He's always climbing all over me, wanting to type on my laptop. I even gave him a spare laptop to play with, which lasted 5 mins. He just refuses to play with his toys by himself! Would appreciate any tips.

It’s chaos….the tv is on all day and the house looks like a bomb exploded before he even goes for a nap. No tips, just whatever gets you through the day really..it’s hard! x

It’s impossible to work and look after a toddler - neither role will be fulfilled. When working at home my toddler is in Nursey. If it’s a one off as they are poorly then some extra tv time won’t hurt. Otherwise I catch up on hours when he is in bed x

Do you have a friend or relatives that could keep him occupied whilst you work? My dad comes to sit and play with him if we have the same issue. Whilst I wouldn't have him look after him all day by himself, for a few hours it's fine.
