Family Fun: The Art of Playful Pretending

Last weekend, my 10-year-old son and I had a hilarious moment together. He asked me, "Dad, can you pretend to faint like in the movies?" At first, I hesitated, but then I went for it—collapsing onto the couch with dramatic flair. His laughter filled the room, and for a moment, we both forgot about homework and chores. These playful moments are more than just fun—they build trust and closeness. Pretending together encourages creativity and helps children feel safe expressing themselves. Sometimes, letting go and joining in their games is the best way to connect. Have you ever played pretend with your kids?
