My two year old granddaughter repeats everything she hears. The problem is, she repeats phrases using the same enunciation as her parents. This causes my granddaughter to get into trouble. Mom & Dad do not understand she is only repeating what she hears and therefore, they need to change their tone. I cannot change Mom and Dad, so what can I do to help my granddaughter?

Oh dear..just correct her and tell her to use a lower tone. Tell her you don't understand her when she talks like that, and praise her when she uses a nice tone..mom & dad need a kick in the butt, and need to start realising their baby girl is #1, and they should be a little more cautious.

My daughter is almost 2 and she also will repeat everything I say --she sometimes repeats things I say she shouldnt be or rudly ask for things-- I tell no dont say that its a yucky word-- After a while she may get it - Ive also Had a incedent were she repeated the F word of all things over and over and over and thought its was funny when I scolded her --I even spanked her butt -- I know this sound harsh but It worked -- I finally popped her mouth --not hard-- but she realized she messed up and quit saying it--your face is you area -even kids know thats your face and you have control of it but when someone vilates that space you realize.I also think mom and dad should undersstand what they are teaching there daughter -Im a young parent --21 now -- but I know that it may be funny the first time --but its tacky --there just babies

well, my daughter is pretty smart for her age (shes almost 3), so when she occasionally repeats a bad word, I tell her when she's as big as mommy she can say those words, until then, she can't.
It really works. She always measures her height with mine, sighs, and goes back to playing lol. I've also taught her the "kid friendly" versions of words that she CAN say... like butt, darnit, crap, etc.
Im more of a laid back type of person though... I want my daughter to be freely expressive and never hold back... hence why I taught her the kid friendly words. Hopefully when school starts I wont get a phone call every day that my daughter dropped the f bomb again LOL.

forget approximately approximately his pointing & grabbing hands it is only interest searching for behaviour he has discovered gets him what he needs. while he factors push his finger down & say "no pointing, tell me what you may want to consume did you like the banana or the apple?" Then he has to talk to distinguish. If he is going silent then forget approximately approximately him. you have probable been "enjoying alongside" together with his activity subconsciously yet now you have realised what is going on it's time to renounce & he does not get what he needs without speaking to you. do no longer make a huge fuss or clap or provide stars etc while he does communicate that only reinforces that he gets interest by skill of conversing or no longer conversing.

If you are speaking about foul language or profanity' then outside ofgetting RID OF mom and dad, there is noting you can do except to be a good example for her yourself. If you are speaking of incorrect grammer I might ask you who taught at least one parent THEIR enunciation??

Nopthing much. Tell her those are bad works and mommy and daddy shouldnt have said them. The parents are the problem if you cant change them then how are you suppose to set the baby straight?

"I cannot change Mom and Dad" If mom and dad don't change neither will the grandaughter, Obviously mom and dad have no clue when it comes to parenting and need to be taught that parents are their children's first a most important teachers of their lives.

when my 2 year old gets loud, i tell her to lower her voice in a low voice. you are right she is only mimicking what she hears.

Just get down on her level and tell her that whatever she is saying is not appropriate.
