The Development of Play Skills From Birth to 3 (www.zerotothree.com)

I have a tween now so I'm no longer on the floor most of the time. But I spent a lot of my daughter's early life being down on the ground. I remember being a bit shocked by how important crawling and exploring the world, from all fours was supposed to be and that for a child there's little except food and love needed more than play.

Also, my child seemed mysterious at time. Though I knew many others parented for all of recorded time, she was my first kid and so it was my first time parenting.

Everything felt new and sometimes that was exciting. Sometimes it was just overwhelming.

If understanding makes you feel more calm, like it does for me, here's a great link to the importance of play at various ages and stages.

If you know of links or resources of websites worth sharing, please leave a comment or message me.

Thanks!
