Yes. I have a more gentle approach towards my son than my husband (his dad) and daughter. Naturally our kids will flock to the parent they feel less intimidated by.
I have found During the stay at home orders that my kid gets bored during the day. I take breaks from my work to spend time with him and that has been helpful. But- he will definitely wait til I get on a call and then come and ask me for the iPad. Sometimes I say no but most of the time, I just give him whatever he wants. On the weekends I make it up to him with more parent time and less video games. What can you do? It’s hard to work from home, be a mom and create a safe welcoming space for him, and be a teacher too.
