honestly you’re doing a great job! you sound like a great mama. i’ve read tips somewhere that if you just dedicate ten minutes to do what he wants only and give him the undivided for crashing cars together it will fill his cup so much! and then you can be like that was our time to just crash cars together and it was fun! let’s do something else now if you would still like to play together. hope this was helpful
Girl my kid is the same! It’s easy to know how to play with him but sometimes I just don’t feel like it. I know that sounds awful 😣 I love playing with him outside in warm weather but being cooped up during the winter months I start going stir crazy
My son, Is also 4 and a ball of energy. He crashes throws slams and wrestles every and any type of toy. When he’s doing that, he tends to play independently, as long as I’m near him l. But when he wants me to play with him, it’s throwing a ball back and forth. Putting together one of his puzzles, building his blocks. So I would suggest exposing him to other toys, but not necessarily changing what he’s doing in that moment with his toys. If that makes sense.
Following bc I suck 😪
@Clara same!
Do not overthink this, just crash some cars and call it a day. The louder crash noises the better. PSHHH! CHWAHH!
I think imaginative ply like that is great, maybe try a different story? My 4 year old loves cars too, we try to build ramps out of different things for them to race down.
What about cardboard boxes? Like duct taping them together and having him draw on them etc? Then you could practice him drawing shapes or people or whatever and maybe he can “instruct” you on where he wants things. My mom for my son the other day had painters tape and she made roads and sidewalks with it on the floor in her living room. Another option for the cars to drive on type thing Or what about just arts in crafts in general? I made my son an art bin for him to use freely with coloring books, construction paper, kids scissors, crayons colored pencils, etc!
