Your little one struggles when you’re there… but not really there
Share
We often think that what matters is being present.
But being there doesn’t always mean showing up.
Your little one doesn’t struggle when you’re away.
They struggle when you’re there… but your mind is somewhere else.
When they look at you and you’re looking at your phone.
When they speak to you and you answer with “just a second”.
And the truth is—they notice. Always.
Science confirms it too: when adults divide their attention —for example, checking their phone while they’re with their children— real interaction, empathy and emotional connection decrease.
Because what they truly need isn’t more words or more toys, but real presence: the kind that listens, that sings, that looks, that accompanies.
When you put the screen down, sit with your little one and enter their world of songs, laughter, cards and play, something incredible happens. You’re not just spending time together:
you’re activating connections in their brain, strengthening their emotional intelligence and building security.
With toys like Petit Folks, you sit at their level, look at them, sing together… and actually be there. Because that moment isn’t “just another moment”.
It’s real presence, the kind that shapes how they see the world, how they feel and how they learn.
✨ This Christmas, give your presence.
Give time, music, and moments that stay.
Because when you’re truly there… they truly grow.
