[quote=Anonymous]My 5YO has never really been capable of playing by himself, but it's starting to get REALLY bad now that we're all home 24-7. He literally cried and tantrumed this morning because 3YO DS2 left the room and wasn't watching him play bowling on Wii. Then I played a board game with him and told him I had to go do something and he lost his mind that he didn't want to color by himself. He's constantly crying/whining for attention - ANY attention - and it's getting really hard to manage. If he's left alone, he knows that bugging his brother will result in a reaction so he just bugs him. We've tried 1-2-3 Magic, we do positive praise when he does something on his own, etc. But it just seems to be getting worse. It's like suggesting things for him to do by himself are now viewed by him as punishments (because he's "left all alone!") so he just rejects all of it. HELP?![/quote]
