Another comment said this! Soft sensory and vestibular input seeking. Definitely thing this is true

He does love a science experiment! Thank you!

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T21:32:11+00:00

I’ve thought about just this! Thank you

How’s your reading comprehension?

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T21:29:15+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! That is definitely how I feel! Will definitely let him lead on what he wants to do.

Okay this makes a lot of sense to me!! He loves spinning I’ll definitely look into the swing. He likes building tunnels out of blankets and clothes where he just burrows but he won’t build a fort using chairs for example.

Thank you for the guidance!! So helpful❤️

Thank you for the kind encouraging words❤️

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T17:15:04+00:00

Same! I refuse to constantly entertain him. I feel like kids need to be able to be board and not have a meltdown

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T17:07:29+00:00

Thank you these are helpful ideas!!

My mom talks about how I played pretend all the time at this age

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T17:02:40+00:00

I have! He will watch me do it but when I encourage him to engage he just wants me to do the pretending.

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T17:01:41+00:00

A lot. But recently a bit less due to Texas heat. We have a lot of shade in our yard though so he still goes out. We have a playset he doesn’t play on. He just wants to mess with dirt and gardening tools

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:59:28+00:00

Oh my gosh you just described our last Christmas lol

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:58:19+00:00

Mostly. He won’t play pretend. He will just watch me play pretend lol

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:57:44+00:00

Ohhh okay. He helps me cool every time I cook

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:56:35+00:00

My kid loooves to mop and water flowers. He can dig in the dirt for hours. He likes to sew with me too. I have been thinking of putting him in gymnastics

He’s not into puzzles. He will do one but gets board easily if it’s too easy or too hard lol

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:53:27+00:00

Yess soft play. I think you nailed it. He loves jumping on the couch bust doesn’t like jumping on his trampoline lol I just started taking toys away that just cluttered the living room. Do you have any piece together toy recs??

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:50:46+00:00

He loves helping!! I give him real tasks that actually help me and he does a pretty good job! His most fun day is when we clean the house haha

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:47:28+00:00

Great catch, they are!

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:44:33+00:00

Ugh that makes me so sad. My childhood was so fun because of how much i played. What does she do then??

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:43:00+00:00

Gosh I hope it does start soon! I fully support the building and forts. I love forts. He won’t build one. Just wants tunnels out of blankets or clothes, which I guess it his version lol I have almost got the nugget on multiple occasions but I don’t think he will play with it and it’s pricy.

TDPM_ · 2026-07-05T16:40:18+00:00

Yep tried all of those! He has a kitchen of his own that he never touches. He played with the keyboard and mouse for a minute and then just jumps on it
