Am I bringing up a loner???
I fear this a lot when I look at Lil P. Am I bringing up a loner??? Lil P is a normal 4 (and a half) year old.. Loves her dolls, is sweet mannered and rarely temperamental. She is a darling and pretty social among adults but when you put her in a group of 4-6 year olds .. she is uncomfortable.. almost aloof.
I can understand when she avoids kids who are boisterous or very physical.. she being fussy, ultra careful in nature. Even at school she sticks to her own group and you can mostly find her chatting with adults.. ayahs and teachers and rarely with kids. At home too.. she is content reading or playing or watching TV by herself.
I know most of you would be nodding your heads and saying.. ohh where is the problem in that?? .. But It does make me feel guilty .. and slightly anxious that she is turning into a loner. I know this 2 kids funda is really good for the kid, but we are not ready for the commitment. My friend Lohit always says – “Having kids is an investment – an 100% investment of time, energy and love. Even if one is missing, you are not ready for it.”
and its true isn’t it.. I don’t think I could have another kid. I’ve always wanted a daughter and I have one. I’m so very confused. Looking at Lil P I’m scared that we are too late already. She’ll b 5 this sept. I have a sister who is 5 years younger to me.. and we never played together. We are pretty close as adults but as kids I don’t think we were really great pals.
I try to take Lil P to parks so that she mingles with other kids but she will go and play on the swings or in the sand pit on her own. In a group she acts fussy, demands attention and sulks when she doesn’t get it. She shares her stuff, yet is very clingy. She goes to a day care facility after school and is ok around those kids I think. Should I be worried?? All you single kids .. or parents of single kids.. do share your views
