[quote=Anonymous]OP it would help if you told us your daughter's age.

I also think that if you did a little role play, you being the grandma, to help her get down the steps she needs to take, that might help.  Like you knocking on the door and saying, "Larla, let me in," "Larla!  Why don't you answer me?" and Larla goes and calls you, and then you don't answer, and then she (pretends) to call the police.  And in this scenario, she does not talk with the "grandma" or answer her or engage with her (except to say a variant of, "I'll go check"  That's something that should be practiced as it's hard to do.

When our kids took a safety class, they learned that rather than to say "No," which is very hard for kids to do to an adult, to say, "I"ll go check," and leave the scene.  E.g. "Can you help me find my puppy?"
"Let me check with my mom" (run off)

"Can I take your picture?"
"I'll go check"

"Can you just open the door for a minute; look I've got some candy for you!"
"Oh, just a second, let me go check" (go around the corner and call mom)[/quote]
