[quote=Anonymous]The eye rolling cracks me up as does the sass. So I try really hard not to laugh. I look at it as the early stages of self-advocacy. If they cannot express frustration or anger or annoyance in the safety of their own home, how are they supposed to learn to do it outside the home appropriately? I actually score eye rolls like an Olympic sport. “That was a 9.0 from the Fins, but a 7.0 from the Russian judge!” 9 times out of 10 that gets a laugh and sometimes a hug. Sassy tone I think about context. If I am in high mom mode and I am giving instructions or “reminding,” I ignore, “I’ve got it,” in an annoyed tone. If she jumps down my throat for no reason I ask her to walk it back. [/quote]
