I have a group of three toddlers ranging from 15 months to two years old. I offer a mix of independent and guided activities, both indoors and out.
I'm trying to encourage independent play for small stretches, but if I move away to my desk/or kitchen to prepare a meal, they just STARE at me. I make sure they have been given lots of attention before independent play.
I have an open concept (with a play area gated off) but they are always within close view of me. I try to verbally encourage them to play, re-direct, etc., but nothing works. They just stare, fuss, and cry.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
