DS is a wonderful boy , caring, funny, interesting but he just will not play by himself. He will play a computer game, playwith the dog and play football in the garden but that is pretty much it. He will happily help me out in the house, gardening, cooking, going on dog walks but really struggles to play imaginatively alone . DD on the other hand will happily do it all day long . He will play with her but quite often that ends in fighting .....
He does love playing with toys with friends , or puzzles/ board games with me or his dad, so j just don't get it .
AIBU to expect him to play under his own steam for an hour whilst I sort out laundry , or shall I give in and let him help ?! I have told hi. He has got to play and now he's sitting in the stairs like I'm punishing him .... DH tells me not to worry - some kids just aren't that into toys ....
