Has anyone every experienced having a 6 year with quite an intense need to be watched or be held in a conversation all the time.
I feel like I have gone wrong somewhere :(
Up until DD1 went to school two years ago she was a happy 4-5 year old. We had the occasional problem getting her to school but it was usually over in a few weeks. She has been increasingly needing (especially other friends/family) to listen to her and over speaking and generally just needing to be the best at everything, if someone had done something she has always done better.... Almost showing off.
This time school holidays has come and she has given me a week of upset. Starting with all kind of excuses why she couldn't go to sleep. Taking up to 4 hours to go to sleep calling my name all the time. I did two night shifts and she goes to bed almost perfectly for daddy.
It would seem she needs to be 'boss' of her two younger sisters, 5 and 3, and always needs to hold my attention often by asking me to watch her do something.... Kart wheels, ballet, singing any other dancing (just anything really)
Help!!!!
