Answering a viewer question here-My child is 3.5 years old, and I have two questions.
1. My husband and I both work from home. She stays home with us until 5 p.m., and then we take her out to spend quality time together. During the 9–5 work hours, we switch between us and play with her as much as possible. However, on days when I have too many meetings, I sometimes feel she’s seeking attention and doesn’t have someone fully available to talk to. That’s when I wonder if preschool might be better for her so she can receive more consistent attention and have peer interaction. Could you guide me on how to ensure she gets enough meaningful conversation and engagement at home?
