We have a 9 year old.
I wouldn't call it impossible, and I've been working from home on and off for quite some time. And no, my kid isn't traumatized.
It does take some juggling with time, the 9 to 5 schedule no longer applies as you have to spend time during the day with your kid, but it's no worse than the random and useless meetings and conversations you have at work. And you have to be patient and expect interruptions.
