Ana question...

[conuly]

I've long since discovered that she listens better if I'm holding her hands, or otherwise touching her. Otherwise she gets distracted and may even miss that I'm talking. (It's annoying. She asks "what?", and then she has to ask again and again because she gets distracted midsentence. I really dislike being asked to repeat myself even once, so I'm sitting there getting annoyed at her for my own issues.)

I've no idea what's normal or not, of course. So... how normal is this for a three-year-old child?
