My little girl is 4 years old now and I've been fortunate to be able to be a stay at home mum since she's been born.I've been finding it particularly challenging recently because she's at that stage where she has her own mind and knows exactly what she wants.What she wants is my undivided attention, pretty much all the time which is sweet, but it's getting exhausting. I really have no problem playing with her, but I want to encourage her to have her independence too and set her up with activities that she can do on her own as well as with me, but she won't play unless I join in. Or if she does play on her own, she gets bored easily and quickly loses interest.She goes to nursery a couple of days a week so she socialises with other children and I take her out and about to play centres etc. She is a little shy, but she plays well with other children from what I've seen.I just feel like whatever I do doesn't seem to be enough for her, she craves my attention constantly. Even when my husband (her father) gets home from work, I'm always the 'go to' parent. I just can't ever switch off. I feel bad for feeling this way because I love her to pieces, I just am struggling with this at the moment. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2u9zbBF
