Our Dd is almost 3 yo, always been very very clingy, cannot play alone, we tried buying so many toys that all her only child friends happily play with mostly alone but ours won't and they end up just not getting used. She's very much mummy/daddy come play with me, she needs interaction. She went in to nursery at 1yo 4 days a wk as needed the interaction but at almost 3 her clinginess has just not improved at all!! We're drained, we also cannot talk anymore, we try to tell her when we are talking that she needs to wait but she just wants to be in the middle of it all constantly, she needs to be centre of attention all the time 😫, at nursery she plays with others fine and is app has no issues. She was a terrible sleeper until just recently, cried a lot as a baby and has epic tantrums when she can't have what she wants, she wants to do it all herself. We really wanted another but were shattered and just darent go there again in case we end up with the same which we don't have energy for or a total opposite that would be easier for us but they'd most likely clash as they'd be so differnt. She is so differnt to us by nature, stubborn, wants it all her way, needs to be with someone all the time, cannot sit quietly always talking incessantly, a lot of things are no or I can't, we're very laid back so it's been suffocating, anyone else felt like this? What did you do?
