Lonely child

We love mommy and me groups, story time at the library, swim classes, little gym and indoor playgrounds. Check them out :)

Take her to the park where local daycare usually go out so she can play with the kiddos ❤️ hope this helps

I usually just take my son to play places for toddlers or the park. I’ve felt the same way when he was little and still do occasionally now, but to be honest with you of the time, my son doesn’t play with the kids anyways and there’s very little interaction so don’t be so hard on yourself❤️🥲 my son is almost 3, and I’m planning on having a second soon

Firstly hands down to you! SAHM, I couldn’t do it! I work Monday to Thursday, LO has Monday and Tuesday with his grandparents and Wednesday and Thursday in nursery, so I only have Fridays with him on my own. The Friday is hard work keeping him entertained all day so I salute you doing it all week! What are your worries with her skills? Is she were she should be? Xxx

I wouldn’t stress to much about not sending her to daycare 2 is still young for worrying about social skills. Have you looked at your local library? I go to the Frisco one (DFW) and it has a great play area. None of the toddlers that go there play together lol.

We’ve been going to the children’s museum in our area. Admission isn’t too expensive and he gets to play and interact with kids his own age. There’s also the library or any place really where kids play. The playground even. It’s not easy needing to go out so they can socialize but I try to make it a priority. He’s not an only child, but his sister doesn’t live with us so he feels like an only child.

Type in on the peanut app wherever you live and what town you live in. Type in that town and see if you can find little groups in that area where you live and other moms who need friends and their kids need friends

@Rema never thought abt the childrens museum thats a great idea thank u! We do go to playgrounds but for some reason they always full with older kiddos around 6-8 running wild 😮‍💨 and i dont really know how to approach other moms with their toddlers at the park i feel invasive and creepy 🥲

@Sarah never went to the library with her we gotta try that out! 📖💕 thank u!

@Amy thank u mama! I think shes "okay" on her social skills but is just that i myself always struggled on making friends in kindergarten and grade school i was always the weird quiet kid and i dont want that for my daughter 🥲💔 she is interested in socializing i notice that bc everytime we go out running errands and spots a baby or toddler she tries to talk to them but gets ignored

@Allison thank u sm!!

Our library is such a sweet place to play with other kids. They have a nook with a play kitchen and other toys and there’s always like 4 kids.

I'm not worried about social stuff until around 3 years old (my son is 22 months) He's also staying home with me. I plan to homeschool both kids so at 3 years old he'll start more team sports

I just noticed that you are in Dallas. We went to Dino Kids yesterday in castle hill yesterday. It’s a toddlers paradise. They have them all over the place. We try to explore a new indoor playground once a week. Also, Plano, Dallas and Frisco library’s have awesome kids sections and story times. Elmer swim schools are great too, we absolutely love them. Fit4mom is an amazing community of women, they do play dates weekly in addition to the workout classes. Feel free to message me I can give you other suggestions.

It’s normal for kids to play by themselves or even not with the kids but near them. My son is an only child. Probably will be for the rest of his life, and I have felt bad about him not having anyone to play with except the neighbors when they’re out. If I see kids and their parents out I try to get my son to join them and then I try and make friends w he parents. It’s a process and I believe in you 🫶🏻
