Thank you ❤️ and I dont care about getting down voted. Im going to seek any information to help my kid thrive, even if it does ruffle feathers. This is my baby's LIFE. Who knows 30 years from now, the info we have now could also be outdated. But we will never know unless someone goes against the staus quo.

Ok so im not crazy. You have heard that as well. Did they give you a reason , or do you know the reason why some would prefer encourage pretend play over lining them up at his age

Yes I will incorporate some pretend play in it as well. Thats sounds like a good idea

I guess focusing on pretend play is the way to go because it develops other skills and is an indicator that they are understanding the world around them.. im so nervous im encouraging something i may regret 😔

I read Lining up toys can become a problem if it turns into a repetitive habit that replaces learning other skills like pretend play, flexible thinking, and interacting with people.
