During any enforced working
remotely or sequestering, this gives parents and child(ren) a chance to spend
much more time together than ordinarily is possible. That does not mean you
must spend every waking moment entertaining a child. It does mean that you provide
safe and interesting toys for them and perhaps audiobooks they can listen to
while they are playing. If they are old enough to do simple jig-saw puzzles or
build with Legos, a story playing in the background can be very helpful and
even engaging. Variety is key. The brain loves variety. The research reinforced the need to
vary the types of play children have access to, and mothers can, of course,
support physical play with young children as well. Perhaps you can have a special toy or game for
each day of the week—one the child can look forward to, so the days do not all
run together. More tomorrow.
