When everyone is home but nobody is technically available

Both adults work from home some afternoons, and the child assumes that means either of us can interrupt a call immediately. We need to explain availability in a way that doesn't feel like rejection. Have you tried a visible signal for when an adult can talk?

    Build in a predictable time when the adult will be available again.

    A simple sign or agreed signal can help, with an exception for genuine needs.
