[quote=Anonymous]I think people are misunderstanding you, OP. Are you someone who distresses by alone time? It's perfectly okay to not enjoy excessive touch. If you never want your child to touch you, that's a problem. If you are exhausted by 24/7 touching, that might not be unusual. It's probably just your kid's age, when she desires a lot of touch. Or maybe she feels insecure about something and is seeking reassurance through touch. I think you need to keep making the extra effort to provide her with touch, but you can't ignore your own needs. It will show in HOW you touch her. Providing less but truly quality touch time is far more important than more but disinterested, half-resentful touch. Give her some dedicated touch time, and find ways to redirect it when you are overwhelmed - explain to her that in addition to touch, words and actions can also show love. Read her a book, ask her about something she's excited about, etc.[/quote]
