There’s a reason your child plays the way they do.
Social play isn’t something children just “know”, it develops over time through different stages.
From playing alone → to watching → to playing alongside others → to working together.
If your child isn’t quite playing with others yet, it doesn’t mean they’re behind. They might just be in a different stage.
And if they’re finding it hard, support can help build those skills in a way that feels safe and manageable.
