[quote=Anonymous]It’s not you, it’s that they’re 3 and 5. My 5 yo plays solo but she’s an only child. If there was a 3 yo around and they were playing indoors it would require a lot of intervention from me because 3 yos are so much younger and can’t keep up with the kind of verbal pretend toy play my kid does indoors. That’s not to say yours should never play together for short periods of time, but at this age they’re not going to go off to a playroom and be quietly absorbed in something for 2 hours. Maybe when they’re 5/7 or 9/11. Based on my nieces and nephews and my own siblings, 2 year gaps are tricky, though. Sometimes it would probably be easier if they were far apart because then at least there would be an expectation that one is older/the leader and one is younger/the follower.[/quote]
