How to Encourage Children to Play by Themselves

Toddler

Naomi Aldort

I just finished reading the response on giving your child attention but not actually being a playmate. I have noticed by daughter (3) doesn't want to play pretend or paint or play with her train if I don't do it with her, so how do I encourage her to play by herself?!

Dear parent,
