    You would not talk to a child/toddler/baby/… the way you talk to a colleague. So no, it is very easy to “switch off”, you just have to do it.

      Tbf, I don’t often talk to children about work, and I don’t think most adults would want me to talk to them like a child.

      Plus, talking to children doesn’t come naturally to everyone. It’s certainly not fair to describe it as “very easy”.

      I always talked to my child as if she was an adult. So there’s that. She’s fine btw.
