Curious really...
How much time do you spend actually playing with your toddler, vs them playing independently?
My 12 mo plays independently very well, in fact she seems to prefer it and makes angry noises if you touch her toys.
However, my just 3yo wants me to play all the time and if I try to do something else eg laundry, make lunch, load dishwasher, sneaky mumsnetting then he just repeats "mummy plaaaaaay" in a whiny voice like a broken record. Weirdly if I play with him, what he actually wants is to instruct me what to do (e.g Mummy build a duplo garage/ mummy play with dolls) while he sits on his backside and watches!
Do you spend a lot of time playing duplo/doctors /shops/dolls/other toddler games or do they mostly get on with it on their own?
