The Importance of Playing With Children

, by Amy Walters, 1 min reading time

Playing with your children isn’t just for fun; it’s how they learn to connect, imagine, and feel safe. It’s how you teach them joy without words. You don’t have to be perfect, or even energetic, you just have to be there.

Life gets busy.
Between work, errands, and everything in between, it’s easy to forget how much a little playtime matters. But the truth is, those small moments , the ones that seem ordinary, are the ones your kids will remember the most.

I still think about days when we’d sit on the floor with toys scattered everywhere, laughing over something silly. Or when we’d go outside just to blow bubbles or draw with chalk on the driveway. Nothing fancy, nothing planned, just time together. Those kinds of days have a way of sticking to your heart.

Playing with your children isn’t just for fun; it’s how they learn to connect, imagine, and feel safe. It’s how you teach them joy without words. You don’t have to be perfect, or even energetic, you just have to be there.
