[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It's what the should do provided that they have other playmates, which they often don't have anymore...[/quote]

Dear god, so many of you need to read a book called Playful Parenting. You kids will really thank for it in the long run. For those of you who don't play with their children, wow!, you sound like no fun at all. How do you expect to form a long lasting connection that with survive as they reach their teens?[/quote]

Quoted PP here again.  I think I just see things differently than you.  For example, i would never read a parenting book, each child, family, and situation is different and I prefer to find someone I trust and respect and ask them advice for how they handle different situations with their kids.  That way we can have a dynamic conversation. Just as you find it odd that i don't play, I think it is kinda odd for adults to play little kid games.

OP - i think it makes perfect sense a game that would thrill a four year old bores you.  It sounds like you need to find her some friends, real or imaginary.
