My young child never appreciated a snuggle and a good story. He was much more comfortable ‘exploring’ his environment. He chose toys that moved, made noise or were active. My first child was much more welcoming to storytime… I just never had a concern.
Coloring was also something that was just not chosen for play time at home. When I offered coloring as an activity, he would avoid it. My child was raised in part by a nice daycare center. I had trusted that they were helping to teach some of the preschool skills that would be necessary for entering kindergarten.
