Why I’ll Never Leave My 3-Year-Old Alone at the Playground

Yesterday, I watched a little one—no older than three—wandering the playground without an adult in sight. My heart skipped a beat. As a parent, I know how quickly things can change in a moment. Even the safest-looking park can hold hidden dangers, and our little ones are still learning boundaries and safety. I remembered a time when my own child slipped out of my sight for just a second, and the panic I felt was overwhelming. It’s a reminder that our presence is their security. Let’s keep our eyes on them, not just for their safety, but for the joy of sharing these precious moments together. Have you ever experienced a similar scare at the playground?
