we moved to a new country 4 months ago and DD seems to be getting more clingy and dependent on me than ever. I have been feeding her to try and hurry the meal up which still takes forever and now she wont feed herself without me constantly saying you do it. She is constantly wanting me to play with her and cries when I leave the room to start her dinner, it is driving my crazy.

i recomend 'lazy mummy'. don't rush to feed her - give her some time then tidy up the plate and be sure not to offer snacks later. Also, I park my backside on sofa and commentate on what she's doing, but refuse to get up
