I feel I an failing a lot of the time with my toddler as she has become a handful to put it mildly since our ds came along 2months ago. I have tried to give her attention but obviously being on my own with them a lot I have to see to ds too and because she is very head strong and generally awkward compared to other kids and wont leave me alone to feed ds I sometimes go into the kitchen and close stair gate behind me so I can feed without her throwing things at him and jumping on us but I can stil keep an eye on her. I know this is probably not the best thing to do as she must feel left out sometimes but I only end up shouting at her wen I try and manage them both and then I feel worse. She is definitely playing up to get negative attention.... Does this mean I have been giving her too little? Or is it because she is such a bright little thing she needs more? Also it doesn't matter how many times I tell her to be gentle with ds she wil stil lean on him or jump next to him and end up hurting him.( what an I doing wrong? She is 2.5
