Feeling guilty

Anyone else feeling guilty letting your child play by himself? My daughter is one and she plays by herself a lot not all day though but she enjoys playing alone and sometimes a part of me feels bad wondering if I should’ve played with her more :/

I feel this all the time. I try to play with her but between cooking, cleaning, and working from home it's hard. Her other siblings are older and only here half the time and they hardly ever want to play with her and it makes me even more sad cuz she always wants her sissy!

No, independent play is an important quality! You should only feel bad if she’s trying to play with you and you say no repeatedly

It’s ok to let your child get bored as well. But independent play helps the imagination

Loving all the answers 🤣 thanks ladies feeling much better lmao
