You don't. I have a 3 years old and a 6 months old, I specifically asked to be in the living room with my desk so that I could have them with me during the day. Sometimes they bother me, but more than 90% of the time they do well, they realize I work and my wife too. Set the expectations for your family,I think that's really it. And yeah, I'll have my daughter on my lap during meetings, or I'll be standing while rocking the baby occasionally. No problem, colleagues are understanding and I'm actually performing very well, so it should be possible for others to handle this. Obviously a different business is if there is no fully dedicated care (e.g. Both parents work)
