Hi all,
I have been trying to teach my toddler (2.5yod) about not using "Mummy's words". She is the proverbial parrot! She loves to tell her older sisters what to and not to do! They do not appreciate it very much - understandably!
Since I've told her about not using Mummy's words she'll say for example, "Go and clean your teeth neenee (Chanty), that's mummy's words!" :LOL Very funny when ya think about it, but nevertheless frustrating to her siblings.
Any ideas for helping her use her own words and not "help" her sisters to obey?
Thanks
