My 2 year old son is a ball of endless energy. He runs, jumps, screams, and wants to play nonstop. I just want five minutes of peace, but the second I sit down, he’s pulling on my hand, Mom, come on! Mom, look! Mom, play with me!" I try explaining that I need a break, but he just doesn’t get it. He wants more, more, more. What do you do to get a break?
Ohhh, I feel this deep in my soul. My toddler is the exact same. I swear they must be powered by some never, ending internal battery. The worst is when you try to sneak off to the bathroom, and boom, there they are, like a little shadow. Mom? Mom? What are you doing? 
Something that kind of works for me is quiet time. I set up a safe space with books and a couple of toys and tell my kid it’s their special quiet time. Some days it works, other days I end up with a toy truck launched at my head. But hey, worth a shot?
Toddlers have zero concept of alone time (unfortunately for us). But one trick that worked wonders for me: the timer method.
I started with just five minutes. I’d say, Mommy is going to take a break, and when the timer beeps, I’ll play with you! Then I’d set an actual kitchen timer not a phone, because then he’d just want to see my phone. At first, he struggled, but after a few days, he got it. Now, we’re up to 15,20 minute breaks, and I can breathe for a bit.
If he really struggles, you could introduce a special “timer toy” that he only gets when you’re on break. Hang in there, mama!
