My 4 year old has quite a good imagination so likes to roll play rather than watch TV which is great, but I have to admit I could spend more time playing with her than I do! <br /><br />http://londonmummyoftwo.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1Emily Harvey London Lifestyle Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640020221497600191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798203692536483855.post-46603174188243304042013-07-04T08:48:30.391+01:002013-07-04T08:48:30.391+01:00I think you're right that many parents lack co...I think you're right that many parents lack confidence when it comes to playing with their children. We don't know what we're supposed to be doing and so we turn to stuff like technology which seems more obviously educational.<br /><br />But the truth is that all play is learning for kids (and they don't need a special range of toys for this to be the case). Play is how a child makes sense of their world, and they can do that with a stick and a puddle of mud just as easily as anything else. If anything, the simpler the toy the better, because then a child has to bring more imagination to it.Joanne Mallonhttp://www.joannemallon.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-798203692536483855.post-65416578578537945882013-07-04T08:39:48.769+01:002013-07-04T08:39:48.769+01:00Oh this is such a good post - you're so right ...Oh this is such a good post - you're so right that if we have time to read blog posts *blush*, tweet etc there's time to play. When I first read that stat about 1 hour of play a day I scoffed a bit but then I realised it's probably not that far off the truth. More time playing, less time wasting.Michelle Reeves - Bod for teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719695398854744448noreply@blogger.com
