Those interactions do occur via phone call or teams chat. The in office ones tended to be procedural, send me a task. Something they in truth knew the answer to anyway. When they actually wanted help, they'd ask me regardless of the format.

That's poor etiquette on your team members part, a gentle request from your manager to those offenders should help. No different to someone not answering their phone etc. I do believe a more casual approach to taking calls when WFH is best, but that's just taking advantage. Sometimes young parent's are not self aware in my, perhaps controversial opinion (it's understandable it happens kids take over their lives), but don't take it out on the rest of us.
