She definitly is a mover, and her brain is always going. She has a hard time turning it off so to speak. It is hard because of we do not have constant activities that stimulate her mind she is bored. It ispretty tiring to me because se seems to need me engaged in it all with her constantly which wears my brain out LOL. Most of my friends kids will play, but DD's type of play is totally different....she's not that into doll houses, her play kitchen, or anything like that. She want to instead be doing pules, maze, building incredibly detailed block cities, and having me sit with her and answer questions while she looks at her globe...plus she has been asking me to teach her to read and we have been doing that. I need more activities! LOL
Thanks again
I don't think that she has ADHD, but you do have your hands full. At age 2 there is so little that they can physically do, it's hard to get them hard enough material to interact with on their limited physical abilities. I'm thinking that you might try bringing home some workbooks aimed at much older kids and see what happens if you leave them around the house. Have you looked at

Now the second step. You will have to train her to be content without you - slowly, with lots of support and planning, but it 'must be done.' You can start by praising her for watching TV while you shower, or some other equally small babystep. Maybe even teach her to run in place for 10 seconds while she has to wait for you?
It will get easier!
