Joining Play: Pick the script your child will actually use
Kids do best with one short phrase they can repeat, not a long explanation. Here are two solid options — both work, but different kids need different styles.
Option A 🗣️ “Can I have a turn when you’re done?”
✔️ Best for: shy kids, kids who interrupt, kids who need structure
Option B 🗣️ “That looks fun — how do you play?”
✔️ Best for: kids who want to connect but don’t know how
If they get ignored:
- “I’m going to watch for a sec—tell me when I can join.”
- “What role can I be?”
Question:
Which one sounds more like your child right now — A or B?
Drop the letter and their age, and tell me where they’re practicing (playground, school, or playdates).
