[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This. It's not about high energy or low energy. It's about the work (and I do mean WORK) parents put in at this developmental stage to help kids understand structures, expectations, etc.... I remember when my kids were this age, I felt every waking moment was a series of gentle "course corrections" but if you don't put in the time and effort now, you have a real problem on your hands in a few years.[/quote] +1 to this. OP, sometimes personalities just clash. Not every grownup will click with every child. That's fine. But if you don't lean in enough during play group it puts a burden on this mom. Some kids need more guidance than others. Maybe one day you'll have another child who won't need as much oversight at age 2. But this is where you are now. Look on the bright side. We're not talking about any major behavioral issues or special needs. Admittedly it's exhausting, but at least it's just garden variety 2 year old parenting.[/quote]
