This sounds amazing, but (conjecturing here) only works if you have more than one child. Ours will stay in a setting like this for an hour or two, but usually reading, being alone is not that fun.
- bluntfang 7y agohave you considered not being so worried about their fun levels? I feel like the point is to allow them to grow beyond instant gratification.
- spaginal 7y agoMy children are each alone during quiet time, so I wouldn’t worry. I do two hours typically, sometimes one hour, there really isn’t a set rule, you simply feel it out with your own children.
- irrational 7y agoWe do quiet time too, but each by themselves. Putting them together is a recipe for yelling and conflict.
- scoot 7y ago> Putting them together is a recipe for yelling and conflict. Unfortunately that reflects more on the parents than it does on the children.
- lukevdp 7y agoI disagree with this. Put any two toddlers together with "one of something" and there will be fights.
- scoot 7y agoOnly if you accept them. Sharing, and cooperative play are best learned early.
- spaginal 7y agoSiblings fight, it's part of their play and social development. I don't know if you have kids, and if you do and have the one in a million golden children, congratulations, but in my experience, conflict exists.
- scoot 7y agoIf you believe that, then we have three in a million. I don't believe it's a coincidence.
