The concept of "sittervising" — allowing children to play among themselves, without direct parental intervention — is beneficial to both the child and the parent, according to several parenting experts. The term "sittervising" was popularized in an August 10, 2022, blog post by Seattle-based mom Susie Allison, entitled, "Why you'll find me sittervising." Yet people have been using it on TikTok and other social media platforms since at least early 2021, an internet search for the term reveals. "Sittervising means to supervise children from a seated position," wrote Susie Allison on Busy Toddler, her personal blog. Noting that sittervising has benefits for both the child and the parent because "parents cannot dedicate 100% of their time to play with children.”
