4. how amazing it is that everything that my daughter (3) wants to do in her life, every moment, is to play makes me think of how much play is an inherent and important need that kids have. probably the most fundamental one. and how much we can evolve if we just enter that space and play with them without them wanting to do what we want them to do (in order to satisfy our insecurities in front of society or whoever is present there in that moment -even ourselves-) this is something that has been hard for me as a father. enter flow state playing with my daughter. i get bored. im thinking of something else im not fully present. and i see that. im aware of it. and i ask myself: what could be more important than this? why? and that’s a big avenue for self exploration, and where the evolution that i referred to before comes from are you able to play with your kids with full presence? how? what do you like playing together?

Honestly it sounds dumb but it’s the phones I have always been a big reader but last few years can’t focus as long as I used to. Except when I do extended phone “fasts” or whatever When i’m with the kid the phone is in the other room. Helps a lot I think

Play is important for all humans, we just normalize not doing it as much as adults. plus playing with children requires vast amounts of patience, and the ability to switch off and be present, which is hard when we can't do that naturally, I think, perhaps, because we are not that child, we are the adult, and our brains just don't let us. I find it incredibly difficult, you're not alone.
