Question
Ok, I have kind of a random question here and would like to know if anyone has any thoughts on this as it drives my husband and I crazy?
So our child has never had what I would call a favorite toy.. What I mean is she treats all her things like there worthless she does not have an over abundance of toys by any means(because of how we see she plays with them or lack of) but we find ourselves never wanting to get her new things since she does not show any enjoyment towards any single toy she has. For example she has a whole play kitchen with accessories such as food,appliances, dishes,apron etc. and all she does with all of it is put it all in a pile on her play table and then just sits in front of her kitchen opening and closing the door to hear it bang against the kitchen. and when she's bored of that shell go to her pile of "hoarded" items on the table and transfer them to her kitchen cabinet and back and forth. Its like a chore to her when she's playing. If she has puzzles she does not try to do them she instead makes her "hoarded" pile of all the pieces and then tries to scoop them up all at once so they all fall through her fingers/hands over and over again and that is all she will do with puzzles.
If she has a battery operated toy which she only has 2 of them her only mission is to try and take something apart from it or bang on all the keys at the same time so its just making random noises or will repeatedly push the same button over and over in hopes of trying to get the button to get stuck so it repeats itself/breaks or try to take the battery covers off. At times after picking that toy to play with she will complain that it doesn't work after not attempting to turn it on because she really did not want to play with it and just then goes to try to take something apart on it. She has a baby doll with a diaper bag that has bottles,bibs,diapers etc and all she does it with is mop the floor with the baby doll. Anything she has thats some sort of bag or basket she turns that into the place to hoard all her small items just to dump them out repeatedly because she likes to hear the racket it makes. Or she will lay out all the small items such as lego pieces or kitchen accessories around the room and then walk around to every piece to kick it out of place or step on them which is what she does with books too she lays them around the room and uses them as stepping stones. If she gets something new it usually doesn't last long before its boring and she's managed to detach something thats not meant to be like a dolls head. Is this normal or what does it mean? Im so sick of her acting like her things are basically garbage and its more of a bother to play with. She entertains herself so much more when she is in her room with nothing to do than she does when she has toys available.
