My 3 year old seems to be attention seeking. She doesn't like me talking to others but that's a bad behaviour. How do I handle this situation.?

hi Swetha at 3 years your baby will require a lot of attention. my kids also went through this phase and i know it can get really irritating at times. however, the more you ask them to stop, the more they will not and will ask for more attention. i would say that even while you are talking to others, maintain regular eye contact with her and keep asking her what she is doing, or give her a kiss now and then. it will show her that you are giving her attention even while you are busy with others. this is a phase and she will grow out of it
Read morehey Swetha, i wouldn't necessarily call it a 'bad' behaviour, but more of an attention seeking one, which is very very normal for kids this age :) at this age your baby will want you to give all your time and attention to her. while talking to someone else, make sure you hold her hand and give her a hug in between, and make some eye contact, smile at her, or include her in some way in the conversation. tell her that you just need to talk to this person for a while and then you are all for her.

don't worry this is just a phase :) all babies go through this clingy time when they want all the attention, especially from the mom. try to include your baby in all your activities as much as you can. it will make her feel secure and soon she will know that even if you are busy with something else, you love her the most.
