@17cleo My wife does the same with our daughter (2y/o) when she really needs her cooperation. I think its cute as hell. Peppa Pig is the "figure" she listens to the most
@abramsailor79 Same! Me (yelling out the window, Iām sure my neighbors love it): Olivia! If you want to jump in muddy puddles, YOU MUST WEAR YOUR BOOTS!!
@workout0007 Lol mine still says āaero planeā and āzebra (short e)ā her cousins live in New Zealand, and itās pretty adorable, and shocks them a bit.
@tori955 It's fantastic! I have it on audiobook, it's on the Scribd app (which does a month free trial btw for anyone who fancies reading the book for free!) and I'm reading whilst I do practical stuff. It's got so many good suggestions.
@berdyaev I read 4 reviews and purchased immediately; you have my gratitude. Nearly 4yo in my home, and itās been a grind recently; I think this can help.
@katrina2017 Fantastic! I hope you find it as useful as I did and things ease up for you. Parenting is hard, we owe it to each other to share as many helpful tips, tricks or books as we can. Good luck!
@17cleo Me and my daughter like to play Shrek and Fiona. If I ask my daughter to do something it's a battle, but if I ask Fiona to do something she almost always says yes to Shrek.
@17cleo Similar, when I canāt get my two year old to take a single bite of food we pretend itās a person or an animal asking not to be eaten. Works every time! It gets pretty morbid when the bites of food beg her not to eat them and when they do the next bite is like, āhi Iām tofu, Iām looking for my husband have you-ahhhh! Why????ā
We may be raising a psychopath but at least sheās not hangry at bedtime!
@allan1967 Omg I do this, too! My little one laughs and laughs. I hope itās because of how outlandish I make the voices and the storylines and not because heās a budding Hannibal.
