Yep, I know that one! :lol:
Can you get her involved so she's there helping you, they just love our company, they're social creatures, so would she "help" (yeah right :wink: ) you and then you can do your thing and she's getting some other form of learning at the same time? My ds would start to help hang up the washing on the drying rack, I'd talk about who's were what clothes, what colours they were etc. My ds tends to still like to know where I am and often will choose to play on the floor of whereever I am. Maybe if you give her a warning that you want to do something, and invite her along, that way it's done as a team effort if that makes sense. You and your little buddy going to clean, wash up etc. Then when you change location, help her get engaged in an activity near by (playing with pots or pans for example). If it helps any, I don't know of many children that will happily play completely by themselves for long without us around in sight or hearing where we are.
