Help

Nothing is entertaining my son at home. We go out every day so he’s not bored at home but this last week he’s just not interested in anything except for making me stand with him everywhere he goes. He won’t play with toys, won’t watch the television, doesn’t care about his colouring in, doesn’t want to learn anything new. I’ve tried everything. I can’t drink any more coffee to keep up with him either 😂 anyone else? Ideas welcome. But he gets bored very easily

No ideas but we’re the same at the minute, must be some kind of separation anxiety because the child will not leave me alone. She’s also been poorly and teething so that hasn’t helped. Honestly the only thing she wants to do is ‘help’ with the washing machine/dishwasher/hoovering. I let her run the hoover around until it died the other day as it was the only thing she wanted to do, and I needed a minute where she wasn’t touching me 🙃

Same here. I am absolutely exhausted 😫

@Chloe yeahhh he wants to help me do everything. I give him a sponge and the plastic dishes to clean them and a dry mop while I’m doing house work. But when I sit down he grabs my hand and pulls me up and then asks me to pick him up allllll the time. And if I say no he cries his eyes out

@Claudia I can’t even get him to watch any cartoons or anything. No matter what it’s not enough 😭

Hmm I know what you mean, I feel like my little girl is off her toys and becoming bored at home. I’m 36 weeks pregnant too so I’m finding it a struggle getting out and about with her. Couple things that kill time here, nursery rhymes (especially ‘hop little bunny’ and I delay saying ‘wake up little bunny’ so she stays on the floor for a bit longer) and I ask her to find things that aren’t in the room so she searches for a while until I ask her to find something that is (so she doesn’t get mad at me)

Maybe it is an age thing as my daughter is exactly the same and I’ve been wondering what’s going on! If you get any ideas please do share 🥰

@Jen totally get it. Hopefully is just a phase as I am mentally drained 😂
