Like we've been playing peekaboo with the sun all day so it's been an interesting time at the playground to say the least because it was kind of breezy then it was like warm then it was kind of breezy again anyways I'm curious to know how you encourage your kids to play with other kids at the playground because my son likes to watch other kids play but he doesn't know how to really join in on like them playing or they are taking turns like with what they're doing so I'm curious to know how you implement that with your kids and I would love any tips you have to share

My oldest was always shy so even if I got a Pollys I would go with him he would take like a good 30 or 45 minutes evening to warm up to the possibility of playing with someone but then I think that happened later on because earlier you seem to always get along with other kids and playing and my youngest he's going to be 21 months and he runs in and sounds fine with other kids immediately

So my oldest is very outgoing she has always loves playing with other kids she is five and then my son he's going to be three next a while in June and then my youngest is 14 months old and my oldest has always love playing with other kids she's always been really interested she just dives right in place and says hi my son however he follows her lead and so that's kind of how he gets involved with playing with others at the playground

My son was actually the exact same way. He did not really want to join in all too much with kids at the park. Just slowly over time, he started wanting to play with kids, but he still will take, it'll take him like five to ten minutes to warm up to kids that are playing on the playground. So sometimes it's something that is just part of their personality. sometimes it's something they'll grow out of.

Yeah this is this is why I like to go to like different events like story time or like meet up meet ups with other moms because I think it's important for him to associate with other kids and see how he is I only have one son so there's only so much that he can learn with me but even with me I kind of do stuff like encourage him to share with me so then that way I do that by like let's say

let's say we're playing ball and then i'm like okay mommy's turn and then i play with the ball and I'm like okay, Zane's turn. And then we wrote it around, So I feel like that's something that I've done.

So I started going to playgroups with my my daughter when she was I think around eight months so she's always been a social butterfly she'll just walk up to anybody and ask her to doing an asked to join in and my son same thing he said going to playgroups I like to eat also he's going to be the same way but for my tips on how to do it for you is just to like be with him and kind of encourage him a little bit and just be like hey buddy you can go up and say hi the kids just like you they wanna play to Yeah it's hard though

And also helps have parents that want their kids to play with your kids to like when I see a kid kind of left out or not really playing I'll get my daughter to go up to them but OK do you want to come play with us we're all even go up to them but OK buddy you want to come do whatever we're doing with us and I feel like a lot of parents don't really interact with the other parents and kids at the park and it's kind of sad like I'm always like why don't these parents talk to me I'm nice man yeah
