How do i get my toddler to stop staring at me?

It sounds like you possibly have insecurity issues and are burnt out children don’t understand the concept of ugly and pretty and you’re her entire world. Children learn by watching others so I’d say she’s watching you to learn from you and you’re more interesting to her than playing with her toys and other things. Do you find her staring at things often and does she zone out? It could be absent seizures if that’s the case and you should see a paediatrician for advice

she doesn’t stare at things it’s literally only me…i hate this for her tbh im not interesting at all

It's because you're everything to them, and everything you do is so interesting. From sipping coffee, reading, cleaning. Everything you do they wanna just watch. She doesn't know the concept of ugly, kiddos don't do things to make you "mad" so she isn't trying to piss you off. Take breaks when needed but just engage with them and direct them to something else if it's bothersome. My 10 year old will still just stare at me if I'm cooking or baking or cleaning. My toddler is in too much of her own world but always looks to me or her dada for validation on anything she does. It's normal, take a second if needed. Maybe meditate, may help a lot.

Just push her, palm to the forehead and she’ll go down easy. She don’t want that smoke.

She is probably looking to connect with you and engage with you but unsure how. Especially if you were hiding from her in your room a lot. Try talking to her, get down on her level and play with a favorite toy of hers or color a picture together or something, ask her open-ended questions like "where is your doll going?" Or "tell me about the colors you're using in your picture". She is probably seeking some Mama time ❤️

If she's constantly staring at you, stop and engage with her, acknowledge she's there, show interest in what she's playing with and even play with her for a bit.

Redirect her to her play instead of asking her what she's staring at. She's 3, she doesn't understand

Perhaps if it's that concerning that you feel the need to hide from your child, seek a paediatricians advice

Completely agree with what and have said. As well as maybe seeking help for your daughter.. perhaps seek help for yourself as well ? Your own child starring at you shouldn’t “piss” you off. You’ve also called yourself ugly and boring which I’m sure you’re not but I fear this may has triggered a deep insecurity, ptsd or trauma. I’m free to talk
If you’d like x

This comment got me choking on my water 😭😂

Aw. Have you ever asked her what’s on her mind? Maybe she’s staring to admire you!

The belief you have about yourself being ugly and uninteresting and you avoiding your child seems like more of the problem..

When my toddler is staring at me, and if I need a second to myself, I just make a silly dance and she ends up laughing at me and sometimes we dance silly together or she goes on about what she was doing before staring at me..
Gets those endorphins going too, so it’s a win-win!

Or I blow her a kiss, she acts like she’s trying to catch it or she laughs and stops staring at me.

have to make jokes and laugh through the hard times every once in a while 😂

I’m sorry but this made me laugh 😂

Sorry babe but this is a very very very strange reaction to your child 😭😭😭 you’re speaking like she’s a dog off the street like what 😩😩😩

All kids do it idk why my son is 4 and when catch him doing it I shout “hello! “ and he’ll giggle and laugh and I’ll say “what’s up??” He either says nothing and carries on playing or he says something like I just want a snack/ I just want to play with you or I’m just seeing you…

I get the fustration but damn 😩

This post is concerning. It’s a child she’s 3, if u think ur child is plotting against you to kill u, you need to go speak to ur doctor immediately

Ignore it

She came from you. You are like a god to her. If God presented himself , you’d stare too no? Atheist or not.

I think you should seek a therapist

I am dying at this comment🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why would this be an issue ? She’s your child she wants to look at you - you are the Center of her world ?

She is trying to connect with you and from what you say, you are making this extremely difficult for her. She wants to spend quality time with her mam. I would say speak to your health visitor about how to connect with your child as you seem to be missing out on the bond that a mother and child share

I hope this comment is a joke

and I hope someday you develop a sense of humor.

when you grow up with parents that used to do this it becomes scary when people offer this as advice but feel free to attack me if this makes you feel better. I hope one day you grow up and learn to say nothing if it isn't helpful to people asking for actual advice as they are struggling

only obvious if this isn't what you have experienced as a child. Otherwise it just looks like this is how some more parents deal with their children and that would be very worrying

educate yourself as well. Autistic people don’t always struggle to maintain eye contact. Sometimes making too much eye contact is an autistic trait. No 1 size fits all in autism. From an ASD mother and ASD myself.

, my daughter has autism level 3 and is non verbal, one of her ways of communicating is eye contact and being really close to me. I’m sure you don’t mean anything rude by your comment but I am going to say it’s best not to assume what others know

that wasn’t in response to you, someone called Riley had left a comment which has since been deleted.

sorry didn’t know that, wasn’t trying to be rude or attack you ☺️
