What's the best way to deal with this.... and title isn't quite right... b/c I know this is more age level than anything...
My almost 4 year old.... examples....
"No, I WON'T do that!" "No, I'm not going to get my pajamas on." "NO Mommy, if you don't let me do that, then x,y,z" "No mommy."
my little over 2 year old...
"NOOO WAYYYYYYYYY!" "I not pick up toys!!" (or whatever) "NO! I NOT DO THAT!!!!!"
Right, now I've simply been saying that is not nice, we don't talk like that, and try to give better examples.
Anything else I should be doing, or should I be doing something different? Suggestions/ideas? I don't mind my oldest saying, I need to finish this first mommy... or expressing herself 'nicely'... but it's the attitude/yelling that I'd like to see changed.
