how do i get my 2 year old daughter to stop back chatting?

Answer 1

lol mines the same i have a 2 year old daughter and shes so cheeky its there age just correct them when they do it depends on weather they are rude or just cheeky if they are rude then just tell them off in a harsh voice they may do it

Answer 2

You haven't explained how she back chats to you. I have a 2 yr old & she hasn't got to that stage yet, she says no a lot, like when I want to change her or give her breakfast or wipe her face. However, if she was to back chat I would ignore it, what's the point in getting into an argument with a 2 yr old? She may be doing it because she knows it gets to you, you know how children love to push our buttons! If you ignore her eventually she will get bored of it & praise her up when she does something without arguing about it, but don't reward her with sweets, just compliments from mummy is enough to keep a 2 yr old happy until the next hurdle arrives! :)

Answer 3

Ok, she's only two, so it's not gonna be easy! First, you must decide what punishment you are willing to dish out. Then when she back talks, immediately give the punishment with no warnings! I would do something like making her sit on the floor for 30 seconds right then and there! That way no matter where you are, home, grocery store, where ever, the punishment is easily carried out and quickly over! Be consistent! Don't worry about what other people are thinking! Good luck!

This is a phase she is going through. There discovering more words and sometimes they don't tend to use them right. Correct her but also you need to watch how you say things as well as your body language. Like you might do or say things that you don't realize that you actually doing or saying and then you say I don't know where she gets from. I went through the same thing with my 2 year old daughter and I didn't realize how much I was contributing to her sassiness until my mother pointed it out to me and asked to me to repeat what i just said and that is when I realized me daughter was following my example. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

The best thing is to ignore, they hate to have no reaction from you, if you keep responding it will turn into an argument, no one really wants to argue with a 2 year old! As someone has already mentioned, Supernannys naughty step/chair or time out room may help, i would recommend supernanny to anyone, i think she is the best thing since sliced bread! Did anyone see last nights episode? Great results from an seemingly impossible situation.

Answer 6

Sometimes children are just testing their limits. Try limiting your "no's" and instead redirect with positive redirection. (Tell her what you want her to do, not what you don't want) When she says something that you don't like, explain to her "when you say those words, they make Mommy feel _____ (angry, sad, embarassed etc.) and I want you to stop saying those words. If you can't listen to my words, Mommy is going to have to ______ (take away a toy, give you two minutes of time out" (one minute for every year) or whatever other reasonable punishment you can think of.)

Our four year old had this same issue. We just talk to our son as we would each other. ("that hurts my feelings, you need to use words like _____ (please, yes ma'm, no thank you...") Also, as he has gotten older, we have been able to help him relate to what he is saying. ("If your friend at school said that to you, how would you feel? Can you see how that makes Mom and Dad angry when you say that?")

Good luck! This stage will surely end, but it can surely end more positively depending on how you react. You can check out the website that I've sourced, it has a wealth of information.

Answer 7

I actually spoke to my son about it when he was about 2ish, i tried to tell him in as much of an adult way as he could understand that i don't like the way he back chats and if i have much more then i will be stopping all treats and his toys will be taken from him, its suprising how much a 2 year old understands when they are told something they don't like!!

Answer 8

Just ignore it, she is just testing to see how far she can get, my 2 year old learns it all from my 8 year old. If my daughter ever shouts at me I always tell her I am not listening until she talks to me nicely.

Answer 9

Give her 3 warnings. First warning you just tell her it is not nice to back chat towards mommy. Second warning she gets a time out. Third warning she gets stood in the corner.

Answer 10

Unfortunately they copy what they see when kids are that age they are impressionable so watch how you yourself react to issues.The naughty step works for some and not others. Quite frankly if you survive the terrible twos, wait till you get the f..........fours!!! Good luck.
