Topic: Why? | |
---|---|
Hey Kris -- i don't know if this will help. But when my niece was her age and the "why question' would come up for 100th time that day I would use children's books to explain her questions. Not all books will explain "her why's" but those books helped me teach her simple things.
I don't know which why question she asked, but this worked for me. |

So you never say "no" unless you really mean "No" and then you will say "NO"?? Is that right? yes
I don't feel that she should get the idea that saying no to everything is a great idea like, for example Its time to eat your vegies "NO" and with 2 yr olds something small like that can not only escalate into something unneccesary but can also hurt their feeelings if not properly explained in a way they can comprehend I'm not trying to be rude, but have you read any parenting books or studied child development? There is a difference between you saying no, and her screaming no. Her feelings, huh? I always said "no thank you", "later", "not yet"...and "no"; but I am the boss. Not my child. My child makes few decisions, but I allow him to feel as though he makes more. |

She listens when I tell her she can't do something It was more so meant to deal with what to say when she says "why " for the 100th time |

Visual pictures helps them associate better. She'll be learning and not even know it. Love Ya hun |

That is easy. Why the hullabaloo? |

it really is just a phase tho... however you never want to discourage them from learning and asking questions. The CONSTANT "why why why" will end I promise

My child never did the "why, why, why". I have seen it in others before. It can get old.

My child never did the "why, why, why". I have seen it in others before. It can get old. It will stop one day. I sometimes think that they are doing it for attention or trying to learn how to make a conversation. Maybe it even becomes a habit. Who knows? I do know, though, don't give too much information - just little bits. But...why is the sun yellow, etc. is perfectly normal. |

When my son would ask why he couldn't have something, I would say to him "well, why do you think?" Kind of put it back on him.

Although she is very bright, like scary smart, she is still limited on words, she may just be trying to figure everything out IT seems to me that a lot of her Aunts and Uncles prey victim to the awww its' cute let it slide rule IF she says something that is cute even though inappropriate for a 2 yr old girl she is responding as an adult so they let her get away with it ANd ad you said She gets a reaction from it and sees that so she thinks it's ok to continue doing it which is why I want to shoot her Aunt for teaching her to whistle when dadda bends over |
