Question
Our 4.5 year old (only child) daughter is incredibly intelligent, chatty, bright and social. We enrolled her in the local play school for socialization, and she goes to a local day home one day a week. We are really struggling however, with being able to separate her from our world as adults and as a married couple. She is an only child, and still young, but she is beginning to push so hard for our attention, to the point of screaming and singing at the top of her lungs every time we even try to have a discussion. We've put her in her room for 15 minutes when she interrupts, but that doesn't seem to deter her. We want her to feel seen and loved, but it truly feels like we can't even be husband and wife without her pushing her way in-between us at every chance. I am a stay at home wife, and my husband works long hours. We've reduced the number of toys in her room to the basics (blocks, Dress up clothes, etc) but we are lost. Help.
