[quote=Anonymous]I call that kind of parenting “benign neglect” and I am a HUGE proponent of it. Letting them be while you’re around. Also called the potted plant parenting style. Doesn’t count if you’re on your phone but if you can find something else to do- like tidying or laundry or… even better!!! Reading?! That’s such a huge win. The kids see you doing something enjoyable for yourself. They equate reading with pleasure. You read to them a lot I bet too. You’re there if they want to engage with you/need you, but they’re learning to problem solve and be happy without constant adult attention. Love all this. (And the PP who said she goes to P&P even now with her teen son and they read and eat together… how awesome). [/quote]
