[quote=Anonymous]OP here. It's hard to convey his behavior in words. Imagine a hyper clown. Less calm than a 3 year old. He will pick a phrase that he wants to teach her and then essentially scream it to her throughout the evening and then laugh hysterically to get her to laugh. He will do this in the middle of adult conversation and as another example when I am trying to get everyone to sit down to dinner. DD continues to get louder and louder in response to his elevated behavior.

DD is extremely social and feeds on social interaction. She's also at the age where she mimics those around her. The dinner dynamic is that she is just starting to be able to play independently away from the table after she is done and others continue eating. If you interact with her, she'll come back to try to engage but instead of saying "I'm still eating", he will start uttering one of his phrases as I described above.

It's definitely annoying to me, but I'm trying to distinguish annoying vs potentially harmful for a young child to be around. Again he only interacts with her for about 3 hours a week. It's just that we're starting to see some of the behavior carrying over outside that time.[/quote]
