I love my little girl dearly but lately she's been more attached to me than ever.when i get home from work i spend time with her then i get dinner started,she follows me all over the house and doesn't leave my side. and if I'm on the computer or watching tv later on,she's insistent on sitting on my lap,laying on me or sitting right next to me.i try to accomodate her as much as possible because i'm sure she missed me,but sometimes i get frustrated and end up pushing her away because I feel like i need some time for myself.she then has the biggest fit and i end up feeling so guilty.how do i get some space without pushing my daughter away making her feel rejected? Also she's been extra clingy for the past two weeks since my mom has passed. do you think she senses i'm grieving? she probably does even though i don't grieve in front of her. i try to send her to my husband but she wants me..what can i do?please help.thanks

Please, please never push ur daughter, or neglect her coz she disturbs you. i think she is yearning for your love & affection.
Try to spend some more time with her.
Work with her outdoors so that she can feel free to others.
Get some more toys specially creative toys so that she can involve with those things .
Get her to evening walk showing other things while walking like saying see that is dog, this is flower etc.
Try her showing some photo albums in which all your family members are there but not you, while showing tell something about each person.
Likewise i think both ur daughter & your problem can be solved..
All the best ..........

It's probably just a temporary phase that you're going to have to wait out. For some reason (maybe related to your mom's death or maybe not) she's really craving your attention lately. I think that if you're able to give it to her, you should. Let her sit on your lap and cuddle with you and get all the mommy time she needs. Hopefully, she'll work the neediness out of her system and move into a more independent phase soon. Good luck!

She is clingy because you only spend what 4-5 hours a day with her. She doesn't get nurturing at day care and she wants you to be her mom. It goes with the territory of being a full time carreer woman and a part time mom. Just wait, she will get it eventually that you can't spend more time with her. She'll cope and then one day she won't need you for anything except money. It must be difficult having a 2 year old need your attention.

Take her to play groups and play with other kids. Don't try to push her away, that makes her drive stronger. Do activities that she can be independent.

Not to sound unsympathetic, but your child needs love and attention. If she is bothering you, you should have thought about that before you procreated.
