Trinity (26mo) is a very articulate child. She is verbal about everything and talks ALL DAY LONG :lol: Recently she started this thing where she will say something (usually a question) over anD OVER aND OVER AND OVER! Before, I would just repeat what she said, letting her know that I heard her and answer the question. And she was good. But now, I answer her and she just asks again and again! Like in the car, "Almost back home, Mommy?" I told her yes, we are almost back home. Then she said it 15 more times. I have made a point to be really patient about it all. At first I would answer her every time she asked. That got old, and didn't seem to reduce the the number of times she repeated herself. Now I answer her after the first time she asks, then after like the 5 time a bit more firmly, but by 10 or 15 times - Dude, it's making me wonky, and it's EVERYTHING. Not just particular questions but seriously 60% of what she says it repeated. And she asks SO MANY QUESTIONS. I love her, but I have to address this and do it the right way...any tips on this? Have you experienced this with your 2yr old?

I alternate between "what do you think?" and "asked, answered, done talking about it"

the first is much more effective - LOL - you can follow it up with "why do you think that?" or "how can you tell?"

Why, no! My child never does that. Stephanie is way too mature for that. She is presently researching for her doctoral thesis and preparing to complete her landscaping for her summer garden. I cannot believe your two year old does that!



















Just kidding, obviously:)

:lol: All* day* long!!!!:lol:
