Just wanted to hear from other more experienced parents really
I have noticed recently how much my daughter wants to play with other children and I have been trying my best to facilitate this by taking her to soft play or swimming or to the park. We were going to a baby group but they stopped doing the class on my day off.
We live very rural and she is looked after by either my mum or her dad when I'm at work.
I feel so guilty that I haven't been able to make other mum friends. I've really struggled to meet other women.
I am trying, but between work and finding a class that's on on a day I can take her that doesn't clash with her morning nap, it's proving difficult and I'm starting to worry about her development.
I read in a gentle parenting book that kids get most of what they need socially from being at home with a care giver, but I can't help but feel that some of that is just one persons opinion and what if I am letting her down.
What do you think? Is she going to suffer if I don't make sure she is meeting up with other children regularly? It would be so nice if she had a friend she could connect with ♥️
