I do and I am always wrong.lol
We were driving in the car and she asked me what I was doing so I told her I was yawning. She said "No your not yawnin"
Then I told her it was getting dark out and she told me it wasnt. I am not concerned at all that this is abnormal. I know it is quite normal but does anyone understand why?
It seems to me it has something to do with her independence maybe.

It is exactly what she is doing. When I was that age, (I can kind of remember), I had to assert myself and say everything opposite of that of what my mom or dad said. Don't worry. She will eventually get throguh this stage. It is perfectly normal.

it probley does have to do with her own independence. she is expressing her own opinion wether it is right or wrong. my son still does this sometimes and he is 4. if it is not completely dark outside yet he considers it day still, even though the sun is going down and it is like right there lol. kids are so funny sometimes. Just tell her ur thoughts and even if she disagrees now, she will understand more later and come around. talking about things even if her point of view isnt the same ans may be kinda crazy at times, at least u have her thinking and she is coming up with her own thoughts. just have fun with her. God Bless

It's very normal, I have a 3 year old and he is the "no" stage you can ask him anything and automatically it's a 'no'. Or if it isn't a 'no' he disagress or argues with EVERYTHING. i was also worried about this and did some research and found that ALL toddlers go thru this stage it is the way they enforce their authority. And most of them say 'no' even when they mean yes, and argue or say the oppostie to what you say just to be different. They say not to worry they will grow out of it.

One of the most annoying stages they go through, but yes it's normal :-)
Just because it's normal doesn't mean you should let it fly though. If you say "I'm yawning" and she says "No you're not" reply to her by saying "Yes, I am yawning and excuse me, you do not tell me what to do or you will be in trouble."
She needs to learn that you are the parent and she has no authority to say "No you're not mom" or "Yes you will mom" or anything like that. Give her a warning, and if she doesn't listen then do through with discipline. She'll learn quick if you're persistent. Good luck :-)

My three year old son used to do that. It appeared to me to be a form of him learning the basic concepts of conversation. When he had asked me questions in the past, such as, "Mom, is that a car" and I replied, "No honey, it's a train." It seemed like he was mimicing the types of replies I gave. So, I figure its just a normal part of language development.

Whatever the problem is you should try and fix it asap, because it might be only a little problem now but as she gets older it's going to become a very big headache for you.
