Re: Playful parenting isn't always "playful" (about my "off" sense of humor)
I also think do playful parenting well with littles. I just forget it exists.
With teens I join with them in making fun of things they don’t like or even instigate making fun of something. Not people, but my dd1 doesn’t like poetry or crafting, so if she doesn’t want to do some schoolwork I will tell her she could write a poem instead, for example, and then she usually will realize it could be worse and do it. I feel like recognizing the stuff they don’t like, even if I do like it, is important.
