Do you direct your LO to play with certain things or do you let him/her to their own thing?
-
We've been making the switch to child-directed play as Charlie gets more into activities... it's been great for everyone involved!
-
Usually I'll sit her in front of her toys if she's crawling around making mischief. In general though, I let her do her thing.
-
Most of the time we let him play with whatever he wants. I'll introduce something to him to see if it catches his attention but if he's not interested (which is usually the case) then I just let him keep playing with whatever he was playing with.
-
She plays around mostly just on her own near me when I'm doing work. When we play together sometimes I follow her lead, sometimes I direct her and sometimes I'm not sure what you'd call it because we're just being silly.
-
She's still young so I will direct it. But if she starts doing something herself I just go with it.
-
She decides. Mostly, it's just toys on her mat or her jumperoo, but I let her have at it.

I let RJ direct and I'll play with him. Rob Sr. is the opposite-- he's constantly saying "RJ, look at this! look at that!" Obviously Daddy is more fun, but sometimes goes overboard and RJ gets overwhelmed. Hehe. Mommy is boring, but safe.
-
If he's playing with something in a way he shouldn't, I redirect him. Lately he is into picking things up and dropping them, so if he starts doing that with his racetrack, I start stacking blocks instead.
It works for now, but I am not sure if I can continue this much longer. We do also sit him in his high chair for "coloring" and will do sensory play this spring on the balcony (water and sand tables).
-
We mostly let him do his own thing, but redirect if he has gotten into something he shouldn't (like the dog bowls).

I sit her down with her toys and then let her do her thing...
