[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the perfect chance for your child to gain some confidence. If she made a face but still lets people walk all over her, you are destined for a lifetime of hurts. No one is safer than Grandma to try out a newfound voice. [b]Let her[/b] say “Grandma, I really don’t even like it when Mom and Dad called me Schmoopy. Could you please just call me Sarah?”[/quote] I agree with this. But the critical piece is the bolded. Don't force her, or coerce her, or manipulate her into doing. Gently feel out if it actually bothers HER a lot, and then *let* her. Alternatively, if it is really just you, OP, who is bothered enough to say something. Do so on your own behalf, owning that you don't like it. And best alternative: let this go. [/quote]
