So many of us have moved to WFH and we have toddlers. These toddlers scream and shout and want our attention every working hour, and it’s tough — it’s really tough. Parents will accept any small amount of help, so check these out.

APPLE IPAD
Starting from $499, at apple.com

The iPad OS is so intuitive, any toddler can figure it out in minutes. The new iPad comes at the best price point starting at $499 (in comparison, the iPad Air starts from $879), and has a good-sized 10.2” retina display, and a super speedy A12 Bionic chip. Set up Screen Time so you can limit how long and when your kid uses it, and so you feel less guilty about it being your digital nanny. You have no idea how helpful this gadget is for a parent’s sanity… Stop judging.

URBANEARS ALBY
$109, at shopee.sg

Let’s face it, sometimes as a parent you just want to zone out from your kids — but you can’t afford to “cancel” noise altogether in case you know… someone’s climbing the bookcase again. That’s where a nice pair of earphones come in — and one without a noise cancelling function that you shouldn’t be paying extra for. These are comfortable with a customisable fit, offer crisp call quality for when the grandparents are calling (they’re always calling), are splash resistant, and look damn good.
