Advice

If I were you, I would truly re-evaluate your village. I’m not assuming what your village is like but this sounds like an opportunity to assess if it’s necessary to meet more families/couples with children her age so that she can have playmates and you all can also have your time as adults to have good conversations with other couples while she’s occupied with her new friends as well. Just as she needs peer support, you all need the same as parents of a toddler. Whatever this could look like whether connecting with families at church (assuming you go to church), connecting with families from family library days, or community events etc. almost every child who is the only child depend on their parents to be their playmates when/if they’re not in daycare or at school. Also, what about any extracurricular sports that she can be part of as a toddler where she can meet other toddlers?
