5 years 3 months (almost 4 months) end of July birthday.
It’s the end of half term here. Today she will not leave me alone, screams and cries if I leave the room, following me around everywhere like she did when she was 2, tried to sit on my knee while I went the toilet earlier. I closed the door on her from the kitchen to the hall while I got something hot out of the oven – this is usual practise for us, she cried at the door banging on it and shouting she needed me right now got herself into such a state she was coughing.
We had to go out for 5 minutes earlier (literally to the post box and back) and she refused to walk, saying she needed to be carried. I can’t carry her as I had my flu jab yesterday and my arm is sore. She hasn’t asked to be carried while out in about 18 months.
She seems fine in herself, I don’t think she’s coming down with something as I can usually smell it on her. She did have Noro last week and missed the last few days of school due to that but has been fine since.
She was at her dads yesterday and was with him overnight Thursday. He said she’s been fine with him. They went to a Halloween party on Thursday and she was fine there. She’s been fine with me before that happily played with her friend on a playdate at our house on Monday and walked fine on much longer walks
She loves school, no issues with bullying or anything as far as I can tell, has loads of friends and has settled into year 1 fine. She says she has no worries or anxieties about school.
In a quieter moment I asked if there’s anything wrong and she just said no and that she loves me so so much.
I don’t know what’s wrong but I just need to breath. This started yesterday when she got back from her dads. I have no concerns over Ex or her time with him.
It is just me and DD at home so she gets plenty of 1-1 time.
WTF is wrong with her? And how can I solve it?
