That lumbar support can be tricky - sometimes it feels like it’s either pushing too hard or not enough, depending on your exact spine curve. Since you’re using the chair for both gaming and work, maybe try swapping out the lumbar cushion for a small rolled towel or a memory foam pad that you can adjust more precisely. I found that helped me dial in support exactly where I needed it instead of relying on the chair’s built-in system. Also, have you experimented with the seat height and tilt?

It’s low prep and gets them moving without needing a yard. Also, rotating toys and craft supplies helped keep things fresh - pull out a box of random stuff every few days so it feels new again. Sometimes I’d leave a note or a “mission” for them to complete, like a secret scavenger hunt around the apartment. It’s amazing how a little mystery can spark creativity and keep them engaged longer than just a craft or screen. Balancing your own work needs is tough, but maybe setting up a quiet corner with headphones and an audiobook or podcast for them could give you some breathing room while still feeding their imagination.
