[quote=Anonymous] I have a 1-year old baby boy and I have been seeking to create opportunities for independent playtime since birth. When he is in my care, I put him in his playard 3-4 times per day for 15-20 minutes at a time, so all in, around 1 hour. I have asked the nanny to do the same. I think it's good for me, because I can get quick tasks done and for him, because it creates opportunities for him to self-entertain and get creative with his play. If he complains, I play with him, but most of the time, he does not mind. My husband though is concerned that we are not giving the baby enough attention and that he needs more engagement. How long do others let their toddlers play independently and how do you go about it? [/quote]
