One small thing to try is so-called Asian squats while you're playing with your kid.
Hip and groin neuralgia started suspiciously soon after my tirzepatide weight loss. I seem to have gotten it under control after mobility exercises centered around squatting. It took almost six months to get from falling backwards to being able to squat flat-footed. Now it's a comfortable and useful stance.
My theory is the weight loss shifted my center of gravity, calling on muscles and joints that weren't ready for the load. Learning to squat helped the new version of my body relearn how to support itself.
The Asian squat has a very different focus than the squats I do in the gym. In the gym, a barbell back squat puts 200+ lb of weight on my shoulder, I squat down, hold for one second and then come up. In contrast the Asian squat needs no weight, but I need to stay at the bottom position for many seconds. It most likely exercises muscles in a different way than my usual squats. I can hardly do the Asian squats because I don’t practice holding at the bottom position.
