Ideas at a Glance for Toddlers

I almost never play the elders, but I would if they were able to babysit their grandchildren - both toddlers and children - and let them sleep over, maybe a whole weekend, and the parents could have alone time. The grandparents could really spoil them and let them be up late and do fun things, even things the parents normally wont allow.
My grandma let me drink coffee with milk, but I was not to tell my parents about it, it was our secret, and I felt so grown-up. :lol:

That's an awesome idea and me too, I'd love elders to be able to do this! I am very blessed to have a very close relationship with all of my grandparents (I actually have three sets as my grandfather and man divorced when their children were young) so I've always treasured the time I've had with them :)

I saw something super cute today. I was out and I saw a father and toddler son sitting on a bench. The father had bought them both sausage rolls and before eating them they 'clinked' them together like when you make a toast with wine. It was so so cute and encapsulated everything I want for family play. The special bond you get from family.

@SimGuruDrake thank you for making this a stickied post and for a preemptive strike on this isn't a place to bash family players-that's much appreciated <3

I made the offer in the other thread but reiterate. A lot of people have left from losing hope. I feel the family thread players who contributed shouldn't be penalised just because it's a popular thread so I'm offering you my time and experience to share with you what I've learnt and highlights from that thread to make sure you get the widest possible pool of feedback from these threads. I'm more than willing to help you out-that thread is mammoth but it would be a shame for players to miss out who are no longer with us here just because of the popularity of the thread.
