SAHM needing toddler activity ideas
Hello! I’m a SAHM, currently pregnant, with an 18m old. I’ve been feeling kind of guilty lately because my toddler ends up watching TV more than I’d like. I try to limit it, but being pregnant and home all day, I’m honestly running out of ideas and energy.
I used to be an early childhood educator, which almost makes this feel worse 😅 I know activities, but for some reason I’m having trouble entertaining my own child. maybe because I have them all day and the days start to blur together?
We do get out sometimes. We go to the park occasionally, and I am trying to take her to the library for their free learning activities they offer once a week, which my child enjoys. Outside of that, most days feel repetitive and I’m not sure how to structure them better.
If anyone wants to share their daily schedules or simple, low effort activity ideas for an 18m, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
