"My 4-year-old demands constant attention"

In this episode, we consider a question from a mom with a 4-year-old daughter who demands constant attention, discussing how to help manage her little girl’s needs and requests. Here's the question: “My daughter, who is turning 5 in a couple of weeks, is very articulate and emotionally intelligent and consistently communicates to me that she’s not getting enough attention. She is pretty relentless in advocating for and trying to get her way, and is also rarely satisfied when she does, which I find really challenging. For example, I might play with her for hours and then she’ll have a playdate and then our whole family will do something fun together, and at the end of the day she’ll say, ‘You didn’t play with me today.’ I’m worried that her needs aren’t being met that she is harboring growing resentment and some kind of hurt at our inability to give her what she needs.” For more resources and discussion questions, visit growingconnected.com
