Was just looking for advice with my 2 year old son, he won't ever play or do anything alone, I don't want you to get me wrong I have no problemb playing with him but i feel its getting a bit much now for example we go to Playgroups 3/4 times a week and we been goung to the same ones for over a year now and when we are there he will not go off to play etc without me, I honestly don't mind as I enjoy it and enjoy being so close to him but I worry about his confidence and starting to be a bit more independent now that he is two, even at home he always wants me to sit right with him also seems as though he is quite nervous if I am not right by his side, not really sure what to do to help him for the best, don't know if to just carry on and when he is ready he will bevome more independant or try to encourage him to be more comfertable with me not right by his side, I have tried that a few times and he will get really upset, throw a tantrum and will not play, it gets quite hard work at times as its only me he will come to not his dad, I don't really know what to do as I would like him to be confident with other children and without me, do any of you think starting a nursery sesion away from me once a week for a few hours will help or could make his anxiety worse? Sorry this is soo long lol also its been going on for quite a while now so don't really think its a phase he is going through,anybideas??
