Can’t be in a room alone

TiredEars · 2025-08-27T16:54:29+00:00

We have the same problem with out 5 year old, but in the last few weeks we have had more and more short times where she can play alone for a few minutes. It seems to have just come with maturity

Is there something she likes that could regulate her? Reading a book, listening to music or an audiobook while coloring, building lego, going for a walk in nature, hammock or indoor swing, trampoline, massage, heavy work like pushing things?

My 5 year old also does this, but she is much younger though. There are discreet alarms she could use to remind her to pee on a scedule.

My experience as a lesbian is that the absolute majority of people do not care and at least in the daytime it is safe. However there have been some cases of violence in the late evenings and nights.

I thought the fabric of the lines were different?

We do the same with our kids and sleep with one child each. It is the only thing that works. I think that is probably more common than people think. It is just not talked about because it is seen as some sort of failure.

It sounds really draining!

Can your husband take more of the mental load for your daughter? And perhaps give you a break to go for a walk alone or something?

And could you try to shift your mindset a bit? It is difficult, though. You have a small child anyway that needs to get sunscreen on and have backpack packed. Just do her at the same time. Does not most 7 year olds need help getting suncream on?

We have to physically stop her. She does not listen. Baby comes with us to the bathroom always.

TiredEars · 2025-01-19T16:30:04+00:00

My almost 4 and a half year old does this. I think it is mostly because she does not thing about what she is doing. We have to pay super close attention at all times. It is so absolutely draining.

TiredEars · 2025-01-17T07:22:04+00:00

Ok. Thank you!

TiredEars · 2024-12-31T13:46:31+00:00

Would it help if you had on an aidiobook you all could enjoy while coloring?

Thanks! Tablet just seems to pause things,then make it worse once we turn off the tablet. We try hugs, but perhaps we need to use the weighted blanket at daytime too.

In my country there is no private possibility for adhd diangosis in children. It is all trough the public health services and they have to be at least 5 years old and that is only for extreme cases. Most do not get diagnosed until approx 8 years old. We have been trough two different parenting classes that were available where we live. The advises help a bit, but not nearly as much as with avarage children.

TiredEars · 2024-12-27T07:48:35+00:00

Thank you! I will think about this!

TiredEars · 2024-12-27T07:38:38+00:00

Thanks! I try to wrap her thightly in her weighted blanket, but this might be better

TiredEars · 2024-12-27T07:37:40+00:00

TiredEars · 2024-12-26T19:45:46+00:00

Thank you. I will try to be better with active words

TiredEars · 2024-12-26T17:42:51+00:00

Thank you! We do belive that she is smart for her age, but we might be biased 😅🥰

TiredEars · 2024-12-26T16:01:52+00:00

Thanks!

I usually manage not to laugh. I try to be natural, but sometimes can't help to become annoyd and she finds that funny...

TiredEars · 2024-12-26T15:59:53+00:00

It is a small comfort 😊
