I only see my nephew for a few weeks per year, but I love playtime with him when we’re together.
There are a few things I’m trying to get better at when it comes to playtime:
- It’s his world. If we’re going on a mission, or playing a game, or simply having a chat. I follow where he leads.
- Yes and. I try and follow the classic improv principle of accepting every idea and expanding on it; always opening us up to more avenues for adventure.
Playtime changes each year as he gets older and his interests evolve. It makes me appreciative of each stage that I get to share with him.
