And learning to live together in a different way. One of my kids is learning to play around me, with very little interruption, is learning the concept silence during phone calls. She choses low energy activities now and it's great. Sometimes she wants to talk, or a hug, or to see what I'm doing, and it's OK, she's curious. Sometimes I'm not available and she drifts away, with no hurt feelings. And she also understands far better 'I' m trying to concentrate' now. I surprise myself taking breaks to drink tea and play with her (puzzles, reading, having her read, do some short yoga, sometimes even dancing with her a bit). It has brought my kids and I far far closer.
