[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, that sounds really boring. I wouldn't do it. I have a 4 year old - I am 33 - why would I play 4 year old games? I raise my kids, make sure they are loved, fed, clean, learn about the world, etc.... But I don't really play with them. As a kid I played with my siblings, my neighbors, or by myself - I thought that was usually what kids do? [/quote] If you don't play with your kids how do you teach them stuff? How do you encourage their imagination? How do you show them how stuff works, model good manners, sharing, and problem solving? How do you spend quality time with them? To them, play time is the holy grail of quality time. I can not imagine not playing with my kids. [/quote]
