[quote=Anonymous]My son is like yours and you are kind of like me. He just wants more, more, more! And I don't really enjoy playing that much. Here's what I do: He goes to nursery school for 2.5hrs every morning, and I have his friend over for a weekly afternoon playdate. They play really well together, and makes it easier for me to get things done around the house. I will maybe agree to play something with him that I don't like for 15 minutes, but that is my daily threshold. I'll convince him to do other things that I actually enjoy - like hiking, walking/scootering. Or I will enlist his help in cooking, cleaning, laundry, whatever - he just loves being my shadow, so more often than not, he will actually be quite helpful! Also I do make him play on his own for a while, and as a reward, we will have some time together. But he still doesn't know how to play well by himself - and I think that is mostly his personality, he is social and loves being around others.[/quote]
