DCG has been with me since she was about 2 months old. Recently, she has became very clingy. Always wanting affection. If I'm talking to another child she will stand next to me and lean on me. If I give her a quick hug and tell her to go play, she will move nearby with a toy in her hand, but she isn't playing, she is just staring at me. On days where it's really bad, she has baby talk and behavior to go along with it. I've tried to redirect, explain, ignore, give her the attention she is seeking when she behaves appropriately...nothing seems to work. She doesn't throw fits when she doesn't get her way or even really get upset. However, she will sit there quiet and pretend like she doesn't understand what she is being told and do what she wants anyway. Or at least I think she is pretending. I sometimes worry/wonder about her. Her cognitive skills seem to be a little behind but all other areas of her development skills seem right on point.
Any suggestions and advice would be appreciated!
