[quote=Anonymous]OP, the above posts are great and on target but I'm going to word- and tone-smith a little bit. Your little niece sounds like she is under a lot of stress and feeling insecure. I think you will make a lot more headway to changing her behavior if you use your "soft" voice and say something like "Oh, Larla, you want Larlette to move? Here's how you ask her. Can you say "Larlette, would you please move?". Then keep smiling and using your soft voice. Reward Larla with a special smile and hug for asking nicely and compliment her. Don't use superlatives like "Awesome"; instead use specific words that outline the behavior that you liked "Oh, Larla, you did such a good job asking. I like how you said please and how you used a nice, indoor voice!"[/quote]
