In families where there is only one child, it is the parents who have to dedicate all the time that the child needs to play with him, we already know that the game is learning and development, that is why our baby marks the times.
When they are two little brothers the thing can be more bearable (or less, everything depends on their relationship), because they can spend a lot of time playing, which allows us to do other things. Let's not forget that that does not imply that we lose sight of them.
Our companions Elda and Dolores should already be checking, even though their babies are tiny, how well they have fun with their older brother and vice versa.
Anyway, that the baby who, at least a few years, is an only child, might love it play alone and she doesn't need company, or maybe every time the mother is absent, she takes a tantrum because she doesn't want to be alone. It is possible to teach him to have fun alone, but it is not an easy task. Ideally, to start playing quietly without claiming anyone, is that you are in a safe place and trust, such as your room, where parents also have a cure that there is nothing dangerous.
Take the test, show him a toy and show him how to play with it. Leave the room but observe him from outside, if he gets up immediately to go looking for you, he is not yet ready to play alone, if instead he dedicates himself to the game 5 or 10 minutes, it is a good start.
Normally it is after 12 months when children accept to play alone, but it all depends on the character of the child. If you are lucky that your child can stay calm playing, do not abuse, although it is good to develop his independence, autonomy and maturity, devote every day a little time to play with him.
