[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the child, because you see posts on this site about 9 year olds who can't entertain themselves :) My trick at this age was to encourage independent play by giving them tasks first. "Put away your blocks and then we can play trucks when you are done." Or "Set up your play food on a blanket and then we'll have a doll picnic." Sometimes the kids would get distracted by the task and play for a while on their own first.[/quote]
