How to Stop the flutter rebuilds from ValueListenableBuilder?

Question

I'm having an issue of the widget subtree constantly rebuilding from inside the ValueListenableBuilder. It is supposed to run a rebuild on change, and in this case it is listening to a table on a Flutter Hive Database.
Things I've tired:

1. I had all of my Hive Boxes open in the main method, so that I have access to each box from anywhere in the app. I tired only opening the Hive box when something is changed, then promptly closing this box. Didn't work

Things I think it could be, but not sure:

1. Mixing ChangeNotifierProvider with the ValueListenableBuilder - Because some of the subtree also utilizes changenotifier, but with ValueListenableBuilder constantly rebuilding the subtree, any changes I pass into the provider get wiped out.

Is there anyway of only rebuilding on a change only?

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ValueListenableBuilder(
        valueListenable:
            Hive.box<Manifest>(HiveTables.manifestBox).listenable(),
        child: assignmentWidgets,
        builder: (context, Box<Manifest> manifestBox, child) {
          if (manifestBox.isNotEmpty)
            return child!;
        },
        );
  }

Answer 1

the Hive provides listening to a whole Box, so every time something happens inside that Box, the builder will be called :

 ValueListenableBuilder<Box>(
  valueListenable: Hive.box('settings').listenable(),
  builder: (context, box, widget) {
    // build widget
  },
),

but you can also specify a List<String> of keys that you want only them to be listenable by the ValueListenableBuilder with the keys property like this:

ValueListenableBuilder<Box>(
  valueListenable: Hive.box('settings').listenable(keys: ['firstKey', 'secondKey']),
  builder: (context, box, widget) {
    // build widget
  },
),

now for keys other than firstKey and secondKey, every operation that's executed over them will not update the ValueListenableWidget, but operation on firstKey and secondKey will update it only.
