Dd is lovely bright articulate child. Lively, curious, interested in everything.....but it has been a relief to go back to work.

She wants some one to give her attention ALL the time. Mummy/daddy, play with me, every second. Sit here, sit there, do this, do that, every single minute.

Ignoring doesn't work, she gets more and more persistent and then has a tantrum..then starts all over again straight away.....

Distraction doesn't work, as she gets angry with the offered distraction. She knows waht she wants and she wants it now.

We feel absolutely exhausted. I cannot physically give 100% all the time, but that is what she wants. There is no escape or recharge time ever.
If I ever turn away to do something, even make a cup of coffee, she is after me all the time...I feel churned up inside all day.

Both of us are struggling any tips?

Seems like a "Groundhog Day" phase to me, ie no end in sight
