Toddler behavior

My toddler has always been high-maintenance, but lately the situation feels completely out of control. For example, today we’ve done plenty of activities together since the morning watercolor painting, playing with her animal toys, and cooking. She literally can’t stay still and constantly seeks attention. She only had about 20 minutes of screen time, which isn’t even a daily thing for us. After we finished painting, she suddenly started pinching my mom. I asked her, “Why are you doing this? Do you need attention?” She said no, then continued doing it and started laughing. We can’t have a proper conversation in the house because she constantly interrupts or asks questions about whatever we’re discussing. I haven’t spent any time on my phone because she’s always demanding attention. I’m honestly at a loss. This behavior is incredibly overwhelming, and I’m not sure what to do anymore. Is anyone else going through something similar with their toddler?

Just a toddler being a toddler honestly lol. I would just say work on implementing a plan to set in place whenever you feel like she’s rebelling in these ways to prevent it from happening. Especially for the laughing at things that are not funny. Hoping things get better for you! I’m currently in the terrible 2 trenches myself 🤦🏾‍♀️

Yes, my daughter acts like this, too. Luckily she goes to daycare and hopefully listens better there
