Play is important for the healthy development of your child. You have probably heard that a million times by now. But how can you easily incorporate meaningful play into your everyday routine? Through child-led play. As I have previously written about child-led play, I won't go into much detail. In child-led play, the child is the leader of the play and the parent is the follower. Nothing (i.e. instructions, actions, dialogue, etc.) is initiated during the play by the parent. Only your child will lead you through this process and you will gladly follow. Child-led play should be included in your daily routine and it should be no longer than 10-15 minutes.
Here is our play area cabinet that we use for child-led play....

Anyways, play time is essential for a healthy growth of your child. Include it in your daily routine as much as possible.
