she likes or loves being read her little books. sometimes when she is generous i suppose she carries on by herself but mostly she wants to be read. she hates it when i am reading a book or her father. is it normal for children not to let you do work sometimes and play on their own? she is a very up and about kid and loves the walks and the play time in the park. the routine setting is usually not an issue. i am talking about things like opening drawers and cupboards again and again and especially when i am tied up in something and get to her immediately. I sometimes feel that she is very attention seeking , she sort of like constantly craves attention.Now a days she has developed a habit of whining while i am busy, which gets to me. she is an only chiuld so she had lots of attention but now because she is growing up i would like her to be a bit more independant in her play time.
