Help advice with clingy 22 month old

She is a lovely and clever little girl. Loves reading etc etc but seems to be very timid. She holds my finger and pulls me along at soft play centres etc and occasionally doesn?t like me to leave the room or be out of her sight at home! The only exception is a TV programme or fantastic toy!

It is really starting to get me down, she is better some days than others but when I arrange playtimes with children that she is familiar with she will still back away when they approach her.

Any advice? Ohh She does now have a little sister but she was like this before the little one arrived! In fact in some ways dd2 has provided a bit more entertainment and interest for her!

No advice I'm afraid, but I just wanted to say that my DS (age 2) is the same.

We go to toddler groups etc, and all the other Mums sit around and chat while their children play together. My DS wants me to play with him all the time.

I have found that he's got a bit better in the last few weeks, since he turned 2, so maybe your DD will do the same.

I don't generally mind it, and just try to tell myself that all too soon he'll be a teenager locking his bedroom door, then I'll long for the days when he wanted me to play!

Well its nice to know that we are not the only ones! Maybe I should just enjoy being popular with my dds!

I will continue to take to toddler groups so that she can at least get used to frantic toddler activity!
