There is no child but loves to play. Every child wants the family members to spend some time playing with him/her. Just because you think, as a conscious mother, that the time you child plays can be the most suitable occasion for his/her mental growth, you might find it difficult to get ideas what or how to play with your child. A woman becomes a mother just with the birth of her child. So, it is likely that mothers remain too concerned about the wellbeing of their children.

In order to diminish your concerns, here are some ideas which will not only help you make the moments of playing joyous but also help achieve your child’s mental and intellectual growth.

Indulge in talks with your child:

Remove the toys around your child and start talking with him/her with moving hands and making facial gestures. You will see your child starting to talk with you in return. This idea will help you play with the child and assist with her mental development.

Read story books to your child:

While reading books to your child and playing with him/her are different, you can choose books with colorful pages and vivid pictures. Place your baby in your laps and read stories aloud to him/her. In the meantime, you may introduce him/her to different colors and pictures and ask questions. Do not forget to encourage or bravo your child on his/her interest in the activity.

Make the floor of your house your child’s playground:

Being much busy with household matters, you usually get little time to take your child out to playgrounds. Why don’t you think of having your child beside you while doing household works instead of making him/her sit like a statue in the middle of a pile of toys? Doing this, you will see your dear baby playing happily around you along with the household activities finished with comfort.

Watch movies with your child:

Instead of keeping your child away from TV while you watch or going away putting the remote in his/her hands, you can start watching suitable TV programs with your child. Try to remove your adulthood from mind and befriend your child during this time. Due to this, your child will be able to enjoy boundless joy and advance much towards his/her psychological development.

Be the child yourself as part of the play:

There goes a saying “Children also sometimes want to boss their parents”. So, you can present yourself as a child to your child. It will make your baby a reflection of you. The most wonderful thing in such representation is that you will get to see it with your own eyes how you, as a mother, treat your child.

Indulge in drawing and painting:

Without thinking too much, get a piece of paper and some colors and start drawing or painting, whatever you like, with your child. Since this is not a competition, do not forget to say bravo to your child; no matter what he draws or paints. A little appreciation from you will help grow much good feelings in your child, which will also develop the relationship between you.

Go outside with your sweetheart:

In lieu of keeping your baby confined within house, take him/her outside for a little stroll. You can also take his/her favorite ball as well. Regardless of the amount of time outside, you should always try to give him/her pleasure. You can start a race in which you let him/her win and see how happy the child becomes.

Keep in mind that children are eager to play with their parents. A little of your time may make him/her feel special. Consider that your child needs you regardless of what you play with him/her. With time, you will likely figure out what and how to play, what is good and what not.
