Question
Is it ok to start teaching our 1 year old how to play independently? He screams and cries when I put him in any type of enclosure if he can't get "free" (even when I arrange the furniture in a way that he has a very ample play area). Is there a method to teach him how to play by himself for at least a little bit? It seems I am following him around the house all day so he can't get into trouble, or hurt himself or damage furniture etc. We have our house "baby-proofed" but he is still very creative with the things he likes to get into. I would love to hear your advice. Thanks.
