Dear Moms

Dear Honest but Unsure,

Not weird at all.

A lot of parents don’t love playing—it’s just not how everyone connects. It doesn’t make you a bad mom; it just means your strengths might show up in other ways.

You might be better at talking with them, teaching them things, or just being present in everyday life—and that counts way more than forcing yourself to play in a way that doesn’t feel natural.

It’s okay if play isn’t your thing. Kids don’t need a perfect playmate—they just need you, in whatever way you show up best.

Sincerely,

Moms on Purpose
