Lisa had a work report due the next morning, and her manager had hinted it “really needed to be perfect.” After dinner, she opened her laptop in the living room, thinking she could both work and be around her 8-year-old son.

A few minutes later, he brought over his homework, asking for help with a math problem. Lisa looked at the screen, glanced at her report, and said, “Sure, let’s take a quick look.” She explained the first step, but her eyes kept flicking to her inbox whenever a notification popped up.

Her son sighed and said, “You’re not really watching.” She forced a smile and kept helping him for a few more minutes before sending him back to his desk. He finished it alone. Lisa stayed up late polishing her report but kept thinking about how distant the evening had felt.

Mindful:

  • Agreed to help her son → awareness of his need

  • Briefly noticed her own stress and work pressure

Unmindful:

  • Split attention between report and homework

  • Checked notifications instead of focusing

  • Didn’t clearly choose which task to prioritize

Result:

  • Son felt dismissed

  • Evening felt unproductive emotionally
