Dd1 is four and in reception. She is normally very clever. However, we are starting to have a problem with her telling us she is going to play in another room or have a nap or whatever, then hiding. Of course, if we don't know she is hiding, it can be a short while till we find her. The thing is, she will stay in the hiding place, no matter how uncomfortable, until she is found. We have had to lift her, still curled up, on to the bed and massage her legs while she cries to get her moving again. She has also had the teachers worrying that she has escaped because she didn't answer when called and was hiding too well until they actually found her.
Argh. How do you explain the rules of hide and seek, such as telling people that you are playing it in the first place?
