Is playing hard work?!  (10 Posts) Notsoyummymummy1 Sat
09-Nov-13 21:34:20  Just watched an interesting discussion on a
daytime tv programme about whether parents have lost the art of
playing because of video games and lack of time with their
children. Just wondered what other people thought - I do find it
comes naturally to mess around with dd and be silly but if we
sit down and play Lego I sometimes struggle to think of ideas of
what do. My mum is brilliant, she always comes up with new ways
of playing but my mil is very different - she's ok if she has
somewhere to take dd eg the children's centre or the park but
she can't sit and play with toys of whatever - she just leaves
dd to it. Am just wondering if some people have a natural
ability to play and others don't of they just don't have enough
time with their children. Am not a journalist honest just
thought it might be an interesting discussion!  noblegiraffe Sat

their children.  SteamWisher Sat
