[quote=Anonymous]These helped me: https://www.janetlansbury.com/2017/10/independent-play-five-hints-to-get-the-ball-rolling/ https://www.janetlansbury.com/2018/08/its-really-okay-to-say-no-to-playing-with-your-child-5-reasons/ https://www.janetlansbury.com/2013/05/stop-entertaining-your-toddler-in-3-steps-2/ The poster who said have reasonable expectations is also right. It will be a slow build but it's definitely possible. Some of it is personality, but some of it you can foster. At just turned 3 my son can now play independently for probably an hour, more in certain scenarios like with sand/pots/pans/shovels. Will he always do that? No. But some days he will. Some of that was fostered at his school I think who really fosters imaginative play, some of it is his personality (big imagination), and then I think we've tried to be intentional to encourage it as best we can at home.
