My daughter doesnt want to talk to me.. what should I do?

Developmentally, I don't think many three year olds have the comprehension to understand that it's mommy or daddy or grandma on the telephone. They can't necessarily understand that they hear this familiar voice coming out of this contraption telling them it's mommy, but they don't see mommy. Kind of like when babies are learning object permenanace and just because the block is under the blanket, it still exists. I know it can't be easy to be so far away from the little one, then to not have her really care to talk to you on the phone to boot. I think it just, unfortunately, goes along with the territory of being a young child. I don't know if this is at all an option, but the next best thing you can do to being there is maybe seeing if you can get access to a videophone so she can see you as she talks to you. And if that's not a possibility, you might consider taking a lot of videos of yourself you can email to her so she can at least see and hear you on a regular basis. And who knows. I just thought of this, but she could be going through some trauma from being away from you for extended periods of time, and her not wanting to talk to you on the phone is her way (since she doesn't have the words in her vocabulary yet) of telling you that she's really unhappy that you're away from her. Whatever the case or reason, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your little sweetie while you're so far apart!

Okay, I really only have one thing to say about this: She's 3 years old. 3 year olds don't have much of an attention span and are always all over the place. Are you seriously getting upset that your 3 year old doesn't have the patience to sit on the telephone and talk to you? She's 3 not 16. So, look at it this way, she's too young to understand the whole phone thing and understand why mommy is talking to her through a phone and why mommy's not by her side talking to her. So, what you should do is this: lighten up and don't fret over it. My husband's four year old begs to call her mom and then when she does, she says hi. I miss you mommy. Then says: You wanna talk to ______. She's not interested in the phone. Hope this helps.
