Q. I am taking care of a 29 months old little girl and she is the most adorable little thing ever and so smart, however, she has no social skills. She has no interest in playing with toys or my son (27 month old), she just follows me around the house. When around her parents ( which we are very good friends with ) she is constantly following them, playing to distract them, to get their attention. Always screaming over us, always interrupting . Her parents cannot have any type of adult interaction without her desperately trying to steal every little bit of attention she can get. As I mentioned before she is very smart, able to communicate in complete sentences , but kind of a savage. I feel bad for her and try to play with her, give her attention, show her she is loved, but she won`t take it. Is it just lack of attention from her parents that she is starving for or is there more to it? I am thinking that if she was just starving for attention she would allow me to give it to her, but she is NOT. Any insight? Thanks
No, this is not typical 2 year old behavior, I am around children all the time and have not seen it in other children. I have a 7 year old daughter also and I am a very social person and I know how a 2 year old should act.
I spend a lot of time around her and her parents. Her mother works nights and during the day she sleeps while her daughter is doing her own thing around the house. I took her to take care of her because I feel bad for her and the child needs attention.

She hasn't spent much time around other kids as yet. She is confused about why her mother is sleeping and is not spending time with her. She's one of those kids who doesn't like playing with toys that much. She's bored. She's one of those kids who is more reliant on adults as a 2 year old. Also, smarter kids often do prefer to be around adults rather than kids their age or younger.
I remember my son going through a phase like that at around 30 months as well. Now at 3 years old, he is able to play by himself and can't get enough of other kids.
Do you think she could be a bit of a 'slow to warm up' kid and she's not ready to accept your attention as yet, but would rather watch you for a while? Possibly a bit low in confidence as well I'd say.

Answer
Webkinz are quite popular--they are stuffed animals that also "live" online.
There's also a new Barbie MP3 player that, in addition to playing music, also allows users to log onto an online Barbie community. http://www.popgadget.net/2007/05/barbie_mp3_play.php
If you can find a Wii (and want to spend the money on it), there's a lot of really nice girl-friendly titles.
Build a Bears continue to be hot items.
There's a Monopoly "Boutique" Edition that is all about shopping at the mall. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2627189&cp
There's also a Monopoly Jr. focused on the super-popular Disney Channel movies and shows. http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Monopoly-Junior-Disney-Channel/dp/B000R6V9HU/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-9104986-0724864?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1191237391&sr=1-2
Anything High School Musical will be very popular as well--there is a DVD of the live concert tour, plus keychains, poster books, dolls, and more. Hannah Montana dolls will also be big sellers.
For a 7-year-old, if she's still into dolls, consider the new Newborn Cabbage Patch doll. They're on sale this week at Toys R Us for only $12 with free shipping--and they're really cute.
Other ideas:
Activity kits (including jewelry kits) from companies like Klutz ( http://www.klutz.com/catalog/category.php?goto=1000&for=girls&age=8to10&srt=1&x=10&y=15 ) and Creativity for Kids ( http://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-9104986-0724864?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=creativity+for+kids&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go )
Gift cards. Kids love being able to pick out their own gifts.
