to ask what your average week looks like with a two year old?

[Changeofluckneeded]

What do you do each day? How many days a week do you go to toddler classes or have playdates? How much time do you spend actually playing with your DD/DS each day?

We go to three groups a week, each one lasts an hour. We don't have any friends to do playdates with but we do go for walks etc. I'm worrying I'm not doing enough.

3 groups a week? You are doing plenty. My 2 year old has been going to preschool (playgroup) alone for 2 afternoons and a week, mum & tots once a week and sometimes another more organised type of class once a week.
I might take her the farm/playground once a week and the rest of the time she just comes along doing shopping etc with me or just stays home. I did similar with my eldest.

My mum never took me or my siblings to classes or anything like that. We 'played out' in the street/garden from a young age but none the structured type activities that people do today.

Give yourself a break

I think it's fine to do whatever works for you and your child. Different children benefit from different amounts and different types of stimulation. My daughter is super active so I have bought season tickets for EVERYTHING, make us a pack lunch and go out pretty every day, all day (she also doesn't nap 😱). My best buddy's daughter (similar age) is a complete home body and loves just pottering around in the house, popping down to the local park etc. We both do some groups (but only 2 a week max) as they're good for socialisation etc., but neither of us like them! I think as long as you're both happy just do what suits you. A 2 year old will soon let you know if they're bored and you have to consider your sanity too!

I have a 2.5year old DD and a 4year old DS. We do roughly one play date a week and 2 groups a week. They go to nursery for 5 hours every afternoon while I work so some weeks I don't do that much, knowing that they'll be busy in the afternoon.

We do activities at home, playdough, painting, gardening, toys etc. And they both have sports "lessons" at the weekend.

I think 3 groups a week is absolutely fine. Even better if you're also going to the park, doing drawing with her at home etc.

My two year old does no classes! She just doesn't have the attention span. We sometimes go to Bounce and Rhyme at the library. We sometimes go to the park or zoo. Most days we just potter and do jobs, build things with duplicate or wooden bricks, do "drawing". Walk the dog. I think we do plenty!!

We do one or two playgroups or music groups and sometimes one outdoor playgroup type thing. Also swimming once a week which we do with a friend. Other than that she just tags along with me, going for walks or into town, to the park or a cafe for lunch etc. At home we alternate between playing and her 'helping me' with jobs. I sometimes think she doesn't get enough socialisation with other children but she doesn't seem interested to play with them at groups etc so maybe she's not really old enough for that yet.

I take my 2 year old to 1-2 parent & toddler type playgroups each week, depending on what other stuff we (I) have to do e.g. shopping/housework/attending school events etc. I try & take her out somewhere nice e.g. beach/park/zoo every couple of weeks but don't do this as much as I did with her older brother as less time with school runs etc. Rest of time we potter at home & play/do jobs. I think what you are doing is just fine!

During term time we do a group (2 x baby & toddlers, Sign language, Gymnastics, Music) every day of the working week plus additional playdates on top of that. He also attends a 2's group (pre pre-school) 3 hours a week. However he's super active, refuses to nap unless absolutely exhausted and seems to require very little sleep at night unless I fill the day completely. When we are at home I try and do a craft thing at least once a week, plenty of story time and lots of walks/taking his bike out. If I want a decent night's sleep we need to be this active, if he slept longer without all the activities we would do a fraction of what we do.

TLDR version: do what works for you.

My DS is 25 months. He usually still naps pretty well after lunch so that focuses the day. He does nursery 2 mornings a week and we currently have a music class for 45 min one morning although that finishes soon.

We mostly do play dates with other mums and toddlers in the mornings and then we either play in the house or garden or go to the park or go to the supermarket etc in the afternoon. Sometimes we meet a friend for an hour in the afternoon.

I personally hate the days when we are just pottering around all day. I get so bored and so does DS. He needs to be tired out. I need to get out and see people and I essentially have something planned for every weekday. My friend though loves just being at home and prob does one play date a week, so whatever works for you.
