How to Play the "Lazy" Way
Some days I lean into “lazy” parenting.
Why would I admit that?
Because we can’t be fully on all the time, and if that’s your goal or expectation, you will feel a lot of frustration and disappointment.
I call this “lazy” parenting because I am intentionally handing the reigns over to my child, just for a few minutes.

how I knew this would work for my child on this day
how I handled my own limit on the playtime
Spoiler alert: I did this “lazy” parenting for about 15 minutes. This is not an all-day, everyday solution to parenting overwhelm.
This is an option to mix things up and get some relief instead of pushing harder or forcing yourself to be with your child in a particular way.
