25 Silly Ways To Be a More Playful Parent
ONE TRICK TO MAKING PLAY A PRIORITY
At the point when I can’t generally leave my work or obligations on the spot, I set a kitchen clock for 10 minutes and work until the chime sounds and afterward leave it until some other time. (I utilize this fundamental kitchen clock.)
The sound of a ringer going off makes the children bounce up in energy and is a physical suggestion to stop what I’m doing and go play, be senseless and have a great time.
My children might not have any desire to play with me tomorrow or one week from now, or one month from now, yet for right now they do. I would prefer not to pass up on those chances to play with them when I don’t have a clue whether this could be the last time.
