[quote=Anonymous]Well, you’re his world right now so it makes sense. I understand it can be frustrating though. I would actually play with him for about 10 minutes or so. Then I’d go do my chores (dishes, dusting, laundry) and have him help. Helping with dishes can mean playing with your plastic ware on the floor with a wooden spoon or spatulas. Laundry help can mean letting him try to fold towels or washcloths. He folds it first then you fold it. Doesn’t work as well with clothes though! Dusting help could mean giving him a rag and letting him dust his toys. Just keep him busy with you. He will likely get bored and you’ll want to make sure he has a toy area where it’s safe and easy for him to wander off too. But the more you resist his desire to play at first, the more desperate and clingy he will be.[/quote]
