A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I may be wrong on this, but the past few days, my little boy has been seeming a lot more annoyed by me than my husband. Hubs does a lot of my son’s sessions while I am working (remotely at home).

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.
