My point is her behaviour is not so appropriate on her age. Of course I'd appreciate if she read more reference books, adult fiction...or whatever......not the baby sitters' club series, right? She always asks what's wrong about cartoons...shs says even grown ups watch cartoons too.I'm quite speechless about her question. My friends always said she is so good that she plays with their children without the generation gap.Yeah...really...she even plays hide and seek...and all those kids game....not for their sake..but enjoys herslf too.Am I too nerious about this?

Hi Terry. You really need advice you can trust on this. But for what it is worth, I would be a little concerned. If she is 19, and if she shows an unusual fascination with either children or with maintaining a child-like demeanour, then something is troubling her deep inside. That "something" is very fragile. You must help her find the best and safest way to express it. This is your moment to be calm and understanding, patient, but not blind to reality. You need a plan. You need a way to get someone else involved that you know can help. Don't ignore the situation, change it.

Sir/Ma'am
Yes you are too serious about this, your daughter is just showing what she really feels, the way she act is what she is, I can tell this because this also how i act i like cartoons very much, and play with kids w/ no age limit, this is how i can be relax from all the stresses from college works, business work and helping other people with their problem and you know what i'm already 22 years old but still i will be myself and do i what i want, Have you ask your daughter of her dream, her goal and what she want in her future, her behaviour is just part of her it's not the whole of her, as whole your daughter is just your daughter you have to accept what she is, don't push her away or else that in the end both of you will be sorry,Trust her she know what she doing, as parent guide her to her future, you will never know what will happen. Good Luck!

It's ok to revert back to your child hood..... sometimes. But at some point, she is going to have to let go of her childhood and embrace her adulthood. It's called the "Peter Pan" syndrome. It's quite common. She also will have to find an adult job instead of babysitting all the time. Does she have friends her age that act the same way? Perhaps she needs to hang around more "adult-like" people her own age.
While some adults do watch cartoons, they have grown up, have real adult type jobs, a family, and still manage to retain some of their childhood. If you prefer, maybe seeking professional help may be the key to helping your daughter blossom into a wonderful adult. I wis you luck.

Is she dating? Does she understand the concept of adult themes? Is she showing any other developmental delays?
I do this kind of stuff, too, but only because I remember being a kid and remember how cool it is to have an adult play "right". But I can't stand watching cartoons... just a personal preference.
Maybe take her to a shrink just to make sure she developed right. Or talk to your shrink about it. Just don't make her feel bad about it, or she will resent you. Odds are that she is just VERY good with children.

She is fine! Let her enjoy childlike things for as long as she can. When she gets busy with her own family and things in life that will take her away from this then she will always be able to escape into her childlike place. Don't make her grow up so fast. Maybe she should become teacher with an early childhood education degree since she's so good with kids!

I tell you not to worry at all. Remember grown ups are the ones who make this cartoons and write children books. Also your daughter has something we all want and this is to maintain that connection with the little kid inside us- wont you like to be also to connect with you when you were 16, when you had DREAMS and a different perception about life and not this HORROR we all live in.

Hun I'm 23 and I still enjoy cartoons, kids games, and I still have my BSC collection. Your daughter is fine as long as she realizes the concerns of most kids her age like college choices, jobs, etc. and so forth. So what if she's still into childish things? It means she's not getting into "adult problems" like teen pregnancy, drugs, and the like. She's just going to be extra good with working with children, so rather than discouraging her behavior, nurture it by pointing her in the direction of future career choices in child care like teaching elementary school, day care worker, etc.
Don't worry about your little girl being a "little girl" forever. She's turning out just fine.

If she's 19, she's a year past adult age. You are facilitating her behavior of acting like a child by letting her live a child's life at home with Mommy. Maybe you could try to encourage her to get a job or get out of the house more.
Sounds like she needs some responsiblities, and not just cleaning her room or doing the dishes. She need an apartment, a job, and adult responsiblities like paying bills, going to the grocery, and most of all responsibility over herself.

It sounds like she has an affinity with children. Which would make her a fantastic pre school teacher or childrens counsellor. It is truly a gift-not everyone has the patience and good nature to interact with children. I'm 24 and enjoy cartoons so don't worry!

If you wish to support your son or daughter understand to see efficiently, maybe not with TV and films, pc programs and programs, as well as the institution program is the answer, this system, Children Learning Reading, from here https://tr.im/cvR33 is.
For a child to successfully learn and master examining skills they need consistent attention in one or both parents. With this particular in mind, but, the classes are kept small from 5 to 15 minutes a day.
With Children Learning Reading system you may also construct and improve your connection with your youngster not just how to see effectively.
