Am giving her enough attention?
Answers:
Give yourself a pat on the back MOM!! Kids demand so much from us. Remember that she needs to learn to entertain herself also.
Other Answers:
yes there is such thing as too much attention and you really only need to give her a little bit at a time she doesnt need it all the time ...........you want her to grow up and be independant and not have to rely on other ppl for everything
yes kids get used to having all ur attention and when times come when u can't sit there and listen to every word they have to say and do every thing for them that there lil hear desires they get mad and think u are not paying attention to them. u are not a bad mother. kids need to learn that the parents can't drop everything everyday to pay attention to there every need
Honey I know what your feeling and talking about. You probably give her enough attention but they love to do things to get your attention. Just do the best you can.
Well whenever she wants you to pay attention...pay attention. Other times just let her play. If she wants you to play she will come to you.
Well, some of this depends upon how old your daughter is . . . if she's very young (let's say, under the age of 8 or 9) then there is no such thing as too much attention. My kids lapped up every drop of attention I was able to give each of them at that age. Your child will let you know when they want some time to themselves, trust me!
The fact that you are asking this question is an indicator that you are probably not giving your daughter enough attention. No, you can't possible give a child TOO MUCH attention! Children grow and thrive in a loving environment in which they receive a lot of attention!
your her mum ou know best, but dont spoil your child, give them as much attention as needed but dont ignore your child. depending on the age of your child try talking to them.
They want 100% attention 100% of the time....which is impossible.
Gently and slowly teach her that mummy needs to do things and give her an activity to do by herself.
Don't feel bad...children are better than catholics when it comes to laying on the guilt.
No, there's no such thing as *too* much attention. You can spoil a child by giving them too many *things*, but not too much *love*! But you'll also never know if you're giving enough. And you'll *always* feel guilty because you can't live up to your own superhuman expectations.
Try not to sweat it. If you think you're *not* giving her enough attention, try to include her in more of the activities you have to do anyway. If you're washing dishes, let her have a small container of water and "wash" some small things. If you're on the computer, get her an old broken keyboard and let her play with it next to you. (If you need a broken keyboard, try your local freecycle; see sources below.)
Then, try to spend a *few* more minutes a day--at the time of *her* choice!!--just being with her and following her lead. Try playing with her toys or games in her room. Or take her out to a playground.

You can give her too much attention.Just let her play in the same room you are in.It's just being near you that she wants.Talk to her when you are cleaning house,doing laundry,or whatever.This will ensure her that you have not forgotten avout her.My daughter is 22 mos old and I talk to her as if she understands me.I know she doesn't,but she likes the sound of my voice and the added attention.I say things like "what do you think?",or I think iIm going to cook dinner now,how about we go into the kitchen?' She can't talk but likes the communication anyway.
Hello,you a good mother,and you do all what you can and just don't stress yourself do your best.
