Question
I need some major advice.  I'm at a totally loss.  I'm a mother of a 2.5 year old.  She's a wonderful little girl, who talks so very well and lets me know when and what she wants.  But we're having a problem with her behavior, or at least it's what I think.  She's into the word no.  Which I know lots of children are, but her dad or I will ask for a hug and she screams no and screams.  She's also into "don't touch me".  It's really upsetting and it feels like it's happening all the time.  She's also into talking in 'baby talk' and we don't have a baby in the family.  Please I need some help.  thanks!

Answer
this si common.. and can be easily changed by having a positive talk in family for 2 weeks. you may start with rhymes like johny johny yes papa.. but do teach eating sugar.. yes papa.

on smilar ways, you have to introduce yes.. like say instead using "u wont get this... ".. chaneg to u will get this on tuesday. etc

maintain same for 15 days.. 4-5 times a day .. surely will change.
