Slowly losing my mind from toddler constantly repeating herself!!!

I’ve been a stay at home mom ever since my daughter was born (she’s almost 2) I sorta went down the rabbit hole of finding things that help me come down from being overstimulated and noise canceling headphones were the winner. I want to be present and I don’t want my daughter to feel like I’m ignoring her however I can’t handle the overstimulation so sometimes I’ll just put my headphones on and I’ll play with her

gee thanks. She has tantrums too, especially is you don’t respond to her repeating right away. I think it’s normal to have angry reactions when you’re being yelled at all day

I hear what you’re saying and appreciate it, but I was venting and was looking for commiseration with other moms who might be dealing with or feeling the same thing. Feeling very judged right now

My kiddo does similar. He sometimes gets certain people or words in his head and he’ll go on and on and on until I say something back (ie, “grandma is at home, we’ll see her later”), but then he just goes to another person 😂🤦‍♀️ it’s somewhat humorous, but also can be so irritating. If I don’t reply after a certain amount of time, he scream-grunts at me to get my attention. I find I’ve had the most success when distracting him (“oh what’s that over there?” Sending him on a hunt for whatever it was). This doesn’t always work, of course. Sometime I offer him an apple or something that’s more involved to eat 😂

If you want a chuckle: The last new obsession was “ow-el” (owl) after I showed him an owl decoy on someone’s house. We now have owl stuffed animals (plural) and decoys (also plural, lol), which I give him when he says owl and it pacifies the situation. He’ll even cuddle the decoys like they are soft/cute and try to feed them his food 🤦‍♀️🫣 unexpected…. Just imagine this 😂

Does your daughter repeat people, objects, or actions? Or all of the above?

this sounds exactly like my Lilly! She does the exact same thing with people’s names, she goes down the list of immediate relatives and with also only stop repeating their names once I say where there are haha. That’s too funny about the owls!

she mostly just repeats words but the words she repeats could be people, places, things, commands, etc
