[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell your MIL that if your toddler can learn the words, then she can, too. Remind her that her granddaughter is half [whatever nationality/ethnicity you are] and you're sure she wouldn't want to give your DD an inferiority complex or something. When she "corrects" your daughter, immediately swoop in and nip that in the bud. When she tells your daughter that she can't understand, then [b]say in a playful tone "grandma is so silly! She knows that [whatever word] means [English equivalent]!"[/b][/quote] This. Over and over and over again.[/quote] + 1 like the suggestion, over emphasize the playful tone so that you can't be blamed (although we and her will all know it is fake ;))[/quote]
