Feeling Touched-Out If you grew up in a home where boundaries were often violated, having a toddler crawl all over you all day can feel incredibly activating. Take a moment to remind yourself that this is just a phase and at some point they will crave more independence and be less interested in hanging all over you. Reaching out for help, even if it's just for a few minute break can make a huge difference too. Image Source: Getty / kate_sept2004
