[quote=Anonymous]Mom to a single child over here. Agree with others at this can be taught if it’s not natural to your child. It’s actually a really important and valuable skill, and your child is at a good age to learn it if here she does not have those skills yet. As others have suggested, build in time a few times a day we are child needs to entertain themselves. It could be building a block tower while you make dinner or doing a puzzle while you are busy doing something else. If you do not already do so, make sure that your child has an active role in setting up and cleaning up activities. This gets them involved in the process rather than sitting back and waiting for you to set up a game or an art project or clean it up when they are done. Also, if your child is no longer napping, switch out the nap for quiet time in their room. That will make them entertain themselves, whether they are snoozing or playing quietly or looking at books.
