When it comes to interacting with your children, the floor is where it’s at. It’s where they are, so it’s where you need to be, too. Because although kids can play on their own, it means more when their adults play with them. It’s not just imagination, it’s interaction. It’s relationship-building; it’s memory-making. Active parenting, it turns out, requires action from parents (that’s you).
But, as tired as you are, playing with your children is more than a duty — it’s a joy. It’s conversation and insight, a sure-thing way to get to know the little people you love the most. They need you to get on the floor with them, to ask questions and take directions, to invent imaginary friends and slay imaginary dragons. They need to know that you respect their play as the age-appropriate work of becoming it is.
Encourage children to play. Encourage yourself to play with them.
