The Challenge: You’re exhausted, sleep-deprived, or just running on low battery, but you feel guilty for not providing elaborate activities or structured play.
The Pivot: Embrace “Floor-Level Parenting.” Lay a soft blanket on the floor, bring a few toys down to baby’s eye level, and simply lie next to them while they explore. To a baby, your presence and proximity mean everything—they don’t need a organized event, just you nearby!
