My just-turned two year old's father doesn't live nearby and isn't able to visit due to the lockdown.
He is wanting to have video calls last over 30 minutes at a time, and doesn't like input from other adults during the calls. It isn't comparable to family call where toddler is present and doing own thing, popping in and out.
My child chats and engages for about 3-5 minutes then more or less ignores the screen and has to be repeatedly and discreetly cajoled to go back.
I've said shorter calls are more appropriate for his current age and this hasn't gone down well.
Does anyone have any advice or experience about what a realistic timeframe might be? Thank you
