Do you ever get so caught up in your everyday life that eventually you just sit back and think, "I haven't played with my kids today!" (or this week?) Come on, let's be honest! When was the last time you actually sat down with your child(ren) and did a puzzle or game together, or played with dolls or cars, especially during the school year?
That doesn't make you a bad mom (or dad). I'm sure we all interact with our children everyday, all the time.....out of necessity.
But playing with them is different. We need to play with our kids not only for their sake, but it's good for us too! It keeps us young and from being too serious. Best of all though, we build memories with our children and really get to know them in the process.
Imaginative play. Really, you just can't beat that. Imagine you're a pirate who just found a treasure chest full of gold, and for just a few minutes, you don't have any financial worries! Or build a tall, tall Lego tower and knock it to smithereens! Oh, the exhilaration! Or you can be a superhero and save the world in 10 minutes. It's such an awesome feeling when you really get into it!
