How often do you sit down uninterrupted and actively PLAY with your child?

Question

Answer

I’m a stay at home mom and homeschool so lots of playtime for us. I also take each of my kids out by themselves once a week for a couple hours just the two of us. So does my husband

Answer

If you count reading, singing, bath time, and anytime I let her “help” with chores than 3-4 hours a day. But actively playing with toys or running around, probably only an hour broken up throughout the day. She’s only one so she find a lot of fun in just running around causing a ruckus while I cook, clean, or whatever other chores I need to do

Answer

I’m a SAHM and my daughter is 1, we do a lot of learning but she does have independent play and we do watch Disney junior and Ms. Rachel on YouTube together. When we do watch her, I participate in the learning as well so we both sing along, count, repeat etc.. my daughter can count to 10, she knows the different types of farm animals and what noise they make, she knows some sign language and we are currently working on colors and the alphabet. We noticed early on that our daughter loves music so any time we incorporate music with learning, she grasps it a lot easier than if we were to just show her flash cards or something like that. I think younger children especially toddlers learn a lot easier and quicker when they’re doing hands on things and when they use all of their senses (touch, smell, etc..)

Answer

After I get home and start dinner. My son is 6. I play with legos, blocks, logs, cars, and we do a lot of arts and crafts. I’m a high school teacher/college professor and to help recenter myself have a long day, I play with my son. On weekends we have lunch dates and we go out to eat, just the two us. We love doing arts and crafts. Building with legos makes time go by super fast and it’s fun to see what we create. We also bake together and cook little things together. My other two partners will play with him as well.

Answer

I never did. My kids played by themselves, with each other, or with their friends. I didn’t play with them. I read books to them when they were little, of course, and we sometimes play board games or card games, but I’m not a child, and so I don’t play with them. We interact in other ways.

Answer

I will play board/card games, watch shows, cook, read books, take walks, have a coffee date, shop, and swim with my daughter. But she’s mostly on her own for “let’s play school!” and those kinds of games. I’ll play a little bit, but I can’t stay engaged in the pretend play very long.

Answer

I honestly could not tell you how often I sit and play uninterrupted. We spend a lot of time together, and some days we play more than others but honestly just depends on what he wants. Sometimes he wants me to play with him, sometimes he wants to play by himself
