[quote=Anonymous]My kids had the same problem. This is what I suggest: First, put all the toys away. Maybe leave a few dolls out in a corner but otherwise, make your house as un-kid-friendly as you can. Then, start doing something that you might otherwise do - cook, or write with pencil and paper or draw, write in your journal or whatever you enjoy doing. When she starts imitating you, keep doing it for a few minutes and then leave her to keep doing it - ideally by warning her that it is not for children. Your DD clearly wants to behave like a grown-up. So let her. [/quote]
