Yup - I find I have lots of time to play during the day ... however my environment and play philosophy is set up to promote a lot of independence in play and learning so much that my crew rarely WANT my undivided attention during actually 'play time' ... I often get told I am too old to play their games or they do not 'need me' go play with the baby

I do make sure to try to spend 15 or so minutes of time with each child one on one during the day .... if they will let me ... however in reality the older kids once they are two do not want it however they will happily sit as a 'group' and have group time with stories / puppets / finger plays and so forth or do a group experiment with me or something to have some 'undivided attention' on my part but shared between all of them ... I am not sure but I think they equate one on one time as something the 'baby' in the program needs and therefore they only really come looking for it once they are 'older' if they are under the weather and needing an extra cuddle or quiet book time or something.

I will be honest - my group plays so well engaged and learning on their own with no desire for 'adult intervention' that I get BORED some days just 'watching' them and miss having someone to talk to ... which is why I end up on forums at quiet time or the end of the day!
