[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think playing with kids is important. Child-driven "special time" was taught in a parenting course I took and even the CDC recommends it for at least 5-10 minutes a day. It's been hugely transformational in particular for my spouse who needed instruction on how to make the time child-driven. Anyway, I also think reading is important. When mine were small we would get a huge stack of books at the library so they could "read" next to me while I read. It started out being a couple minutes, but the duration lengthened. It's also important that your kids see you reading, so keep it up! You said you're engaging with them so that's great. Maybe just say a timer for 5-10 minutes of play a day.[/quote] Meant to post the CDC link https://www.cdc.gov/parents/essentials/toddlersandpreschoolers/communication/specialplaytime.html [/quote]
