[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the exact opposite. I believe kids learn things through repetition, so am happy to indulge it. My LO doesn't have trouble playing with other kids, so I figure why not let her have an environment where she can experiment with controlling both sides. But she starts making changes herself after a while and I would find the game equally boring if she didn't tell me what to do, so it doesn't really make a difference to me.[/quote] Not OP but I thought the same thing as you until my 4 year old would get full out frustrated and angry when I didn't say things "just right" and since I'm not a mind-reader--it wasn't fun for anyone. I also tell her that I will be the queen to her snow white (I do a great wicked queen cackle) and I will follow the story but I can't say things exactly. She wasn't happy at first but now she is. Compromise--meet her halfway. And she does plenty of independent play too, we just also do this.[/quote]
