Playing hide & seek with a toddler is one of the most relaxing parenting activities I have experienced. At any time you know exactly where toddler is, and at any time toddler feels incredibly empowered thus happy.

@Pepijn this is so true 🙂
My kid giggles non-stop as I walk around the house asking "where is [Little Kid]" and go to all the other rooms first.

@marsiposa @Pepijn

Very much this.

You also have to call out "Are they in the ..." And proceed to name every improbable noun in sight.

It's in the rules.

@Pepijn I wasn’t so lucky with mine. They turned hide and seek into an art form and it was *impossible* to find them. Once I had an anxiety attack because I thought they had been kidnapped 😅
@Pepijn and with older kids you should hide very well an make sure you have your phone or something to read. This will be your only me-time for years!
