[quote=Anonymous]DD turned 3 recently, and we’ve noticed that she often just does not respond to us when we ask her a question. It seems pretty clear that she hears us and is just choosing not to respond. How do I know? I’ll ask her a basic question multiple times (ex: do you want water or milk to drink) and receive no response. Then I’ll supply a “silly” answer to my own question (ex: ok, I’ll give you coffee!), and she’ll immediately respond by laughing and saying “no, Mommy!” Then she’ll finally answer the original question. This occurs multiple times throughout the day and gets exhausting. I have two questions: (1) Have others dealt with this/how unusual is this? (She is our oldest so we don’t have a lot of experience with this age.) (2) What is the best way of helping DD understand that she needs to answer when we ask her a question?[/quote]
