Liv | Open-Ended Play & Play Space Coach

Nearly half of UK parents of young children spend less than an hour playing with them across the working week, and 83% say they wish they could do more.

That isn’t because parents don’t care. It’s work, tiredness, life.

I feel all of that too. But these little moments in my day remind me just how important it is to sit down on the floor with them. To connect with them, to really watch them and be present.

Play doesn’t have to be hours. This moment wasn’t long. I didn’t set anything up or show her what to do. I just sat nearby and noticed.

But in those few minutes, I saw the first glimpse of imagination, the same skill that will grow into language, storytelling and understanding other people.

So if you only have ten minutes today, that’s enough ❤️✨
