Playing in a space with lots of distractions can make play more difficult. Ringing phones, loud televisions, and electronic games can make engaging with our children much more challenging. Find a quiet, comfortable space to play.
Play with your child should be fun for both the child and adult, it is important you are both motivated and engaged. If you are tired, stressed and anxious, consider playing at a time when you feel more focused and positive. Play sessions can last for 5 minutes or an hour, dependant on the mood of you child and the engagement in an activity.
