We were at my son's preschool on the first day of school and an announcement was made about how the elevator was not operational. DS became obsessed and asked us questions for weeks about the broken elevator (why was it broken? Were people busy fixing it? When would it be fixed?). It drove us nuts. He would find a topic and become obsessed with it. It's just a stage. He turns 5 in a week and it hasn't happened in awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-obessesions#post-2748651 Sat, 17 Jun 2017 07:25:27 +0000 azjax 2748651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 21 month old DS is obsessed with trucks, buses, and especially tractors. Not sure how the tractor obsession started, but our neighbors (own a construction business) recently bought one and park it in their front yard. All we ever hear about is "neighbor's tractor!" and it gets exhausting. We try to ask DS questions that are interesting to us to break up the monotony. I'm sure some day we'll miss this phase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-obessesions#post-2748313 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 11:37:55 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2748313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: maybe I just need to embrace it. He is very sweet, he loves his friends and considers everyone a friend! And think about the days when he's a teen and won't say two words to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-obessesions#post-2748308 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 11:29:57 +0000 FaithFertility 2748308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww sweet boy!<br /> I feel like DD can do this, depending on tbe situation! She asks to play at the park literally daily and sometimes brings up past kiddos she has played with there!<br /> Mommy where is the boy?! Mommy is that boy on the slide etc....<br /> She is also slightly obsessed now with Frozen after only seeing it like 2 times </p> <p>I said something about frozen corn the other night and then she went on ans on about seeing if Frozen was on lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-obessesions#post-2748306 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 11:23:28 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2748306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son (2.5) is going through a phrase where he is so obsessive about things, in particular people we know (sometimes not that well!). He will ask from the second he wakes up till he's going to sleep like every 15 min or even more frequently, when we can see them. For example, our neighbor who is 3, I'll call him max. We've played with max maybe 10 times. "Mommy I want to play with max. Where's max? I can't find max. Where's Max's mommy. I want to play with max. I can't find Max's school." (When I told him max was at school so we couldn't play). Yesterday I was making dinner, and he heard max and his mom pull in their driveway. "Mommy! Max is home! I want to play with him!" Fortunately or unfortunately, they were able to play for about 15-20 min while I put dinner on hold, but at least he ran some wiggles out! But then when we got home (had to Carry him in while he cried) still asking every 5min about max. </p> <p>Anyways, help me not go insane! I don't want to ignore him or snap at him, I try to say some general phrases in a matter of fact way, "it's night time, we spend night time with families, we will play with max another day etc". Is this normal by the way? It's not just max, it's every kid he knows pretty much at different times! Even our elderly neighbors and their cat that we have visited twice. </p>
