Promoting Independent Play

Learning to mum for me has been about compromise. Constant adjustment to new routines. Relinquishing control. Leaning into the process of motherhood and all its beauty and challenge. I have however, lusted over more time to myself as the weeks and months have passed and encouraging Ophelia to play independently has always been part of that makeup. In this episode I’m sharing some of my thoughts on this. Independence is one of the skills I am personally so proud to have in abundance, if I can help Ophelia have this by teaching her from a young age that time yourself is not only enjoyable but necessary and vital then I’m all for it. Enjoy my thoughts!
