I'll often get my phone out to distract the kids with videos and photos I've taken of our pets, they enjoy the 'doomscrolling' aspect, and they find it more enjoyable to recognise their family in them. My 5yo niece spent 10 quiet minutes today going through my photos of her and her sisters. It's also a great way of sharing your life with them if you don't see them regularly, and they get a good laugh from the funny photos!
