[quote=Anonymous]I do hope the OP will come back. I think there have been some good ideas and perspectives mixed in with the less-helpful comments. One of my kids at 2-3 wasn’t continually upset like OP’s, but they were HIGHLY interactive and never content to do their own thing. They wanted my full attention and participation whenever I didn’t have another obvious task in front of me. When I had reached my limit, I would say “Mommy is going to rest her ears for a bit. You can keep talking to me, but I won’t be able to answer because I’m turning off my ears until the timer is done.” And then I’d set the timer for 20 minutes and sit with my eyes closed while they kept chattering — but without any expectation that I would respond or engage. Total sanity saver. [/quote]
