We are really struggling with the demands of a toddler boy (3 years) who won't play on his own. We try setting him up with things he can do, telling him we have things of our own to do, and leaving him to it but two minutes later he'll be at our side, demanding we play with him.
He goes to nursery twice a week. I have lots of friends with kids so we are social. We do things I know he likes - like being active and outside.
But he simply won't spend more than a few minutes on his own with a toy.
It's frustrating and quite exhausting.
Any suggestions?
