I just listened to it for the bajilionth time, and I just noticed that the hums at the beginning are the notes for ‘So Long London’

My 13 year old has a hospital day every so often and he struggles with trying to find things to do that aren’t just scrolling. (His own choice). All of their friends are at school and can’t check phones. He will often watch movies and shows so I’m not concerned about hearing those suggestions.

Usually the iv is in their non dominant arm, but sometimes dominant.

They like artsy things like diamond art, but find the small kits too easy. Holding books gets hard for him after a while. We try to encourage drawing, but not always an interest.

What are some things y’all can think of, especially my chronic illness pals

As the title says, I have a bad habit of scrolling Pinterest and Reddit for inspiration for hobbies and cooking. My argument for it is that I genuinely do get inspiration for my hobbies and recipes, BUT I either end up scrolling/saving which isn’t the goal or I get distracted by something irrelevant and basically go down a superficial rabbit hole.

I don’t know how to balance the helpfulness of these two with my brain seeking easy dopamine. Any suggestions

Hello all, long time lurker. I generally stay in my kid’s room until they fall asleep. Usually I’d think about bringing a book or working on crochet because the night light is bright enough.

However, my kiddo generally likes to hold hands when they’re falling asleep. What could I do one handed so that I’m not just scrolling?
