How do i get my 2 year old daughter to stop back chatting?
Answer:
lol mines the same i have a 2 year old daughter and shes so cheeky its there age just correct them when they do it depends on weather they are rude or just cheeky if they are rude then just tell them off in a harsh voice they may do it
smack her
Have you tried supernanny's 'Naugty Step'
It works for me...
no idea really, personally id smack mine they dont do it much after that but depends on what you believe in, or ignore them when they do it, gets boring when you dont get a reaction.
you wont, i know little darlings at that age arn't they! lol
if you respond she will do it more, i used to ignore my son when he did this and he soon got bored of it
no sweets!!
Give her 3 warnings. First warning you just tell her it is not nice to back chat towards mommy. Second warning she gets a time out. Third warning she gets stood in the corner.
no cartoons tonight!!
just tell her kindly that its not nice to do that!
turn around when she does it, walk away and ignore her
place a back cushion on the sofa.

I actually spoke to my son about it when he was about 2ish, i tried to tell him in as much of an adult way as he could understand that i don't like the way he back chats and if i have much more then i will be stopping all treats and his toys will be taken from him, its suprising how much a 2 year old understands when they are told something they don't like!!
Ok, she's only two, so it's not gonna be easy! First, you must decide what punishment you are willing to dish out. Then when she back talks, immediately give the punishment with no warnings! I would do something like making her sit on the floor for 30 seconds right then and there! That way no matter where you are, home, grocery store, where ever, the punishment is easily carried out and quickly over! Be consistent! Don't worry about what other people are thinking! Good luck!
The best thing is to ignore, they hate to have no reaction from you, if you keep responding it will turn into an argument, no one really wants to argue with a 2 year old! As someone has already mentioned, Supernannys naughty step/chair or time out room may help, i would recommend supernanny to anyone, i think she is the best thing since sliced bread! Did anyone see last nights episode? Great results from an seemingly impossible situation.
Unfortunately they copy what they see when kids are that age they are impressionable so watch how you yourself react to issues.The naughty step works for some and not others. Quite frankly if you survive the terrible twos, wait till you get the f....fours! Good luck.
never break breathe when you are talking to her.you may find that you will have constantly talk to and at her all day...failing that get her a job as soon as possible and that shld knock the back chatting out of her
I often ask myself the same question about my 3 year old. I always use the naughty step, time out to think about what he has done. I'm just hoping he will grow out of it.
what is back chatting?
You haven't explained how she back chats to you. I have a 2 yr old & she hasn't got to that stage yet, she says no a lot, like when I want to change her or give her breakfast or wipe her face. However, if she was to back chat I would ignore it, what's the point in getting into an argument with a 2 yr old? She may be doing it because she knows it gets to you, you know how children love to push our buttons! If you ignore her eventually she will get bored of it & praise her up when she does something without arguing about it, but don't reward her with sweets, just compliments from mummy is enough to keep a 2 yr old happy until the next hurdle arrives! :)
Just ignore it, she is just testing to see how far she can get, my 2 year old learns it all from my 8 year old. If my daughter ever shouts at me I always tell her I am not listening until she talks to me nicely.
I have one of these!
Tried naughty step and other forms of punishment, I think it is a girl thing as I never had it with my three boys.
But will be grateful if you find an answer and let me know before I end up in custody and her in casualty! LOL:)
terrible 2's lol til she hits 3 WORSE!! when my son was 2 and did stuff like that i was freaking out too it made me so mad and i would yell back and do really nothing to him after he calmed down he fot whatever he wanted well i soon came to realize i need to put a stop to it. well i dont' smack my kid. dont' think hitting solves the problem i jsut would ignore his back talk and tantrumsacted like they didnt' bother me he didnt' like that very well.. i would also take his fav toy or thing away from him like with my son it was his tv in his room at first i would just unplug it but he figured out how to plug it back in so i eventually had to take it out of his room... but you have to stick to the punishment i know it is difficult but they learn that wayif i do thisi won't get that. my son is now 5 and to this day i dont hit him just take things away from him.. tho his attitude is bad he will soon realize that he need to cut that out cuz he is grounded alot lol hitting does work tho i have smacked my son 1 time in the last 3 years and that is when i sent him to his rooom to clean and he jsut kept playin and not cleaning so i told him if he sisn't start cleaning i was gonna smack his butt. h oping he would jsut clean i went to his room and he was playing.. MAN! so i had to do it i told him i was so i smacked his butt and you know with in a half hour his room was clean. lol gl and let your daughter know your are the boss and get her under control before she gets older because it gets worse.. i wish i would of put my son in check at an earlier age i am preg now with a girl and i know my limits i know what i gotta do lol gl
Sometimes children are just testing their limits. Try limiting your "no's" and instead redirect with positive redirection. (Tell her what you want her to do, not what you don't want) When she says something that you don't like, explain to her "when you say those words, they make Mommy feel _____ (angry, sad, embarassed etc.) and I want you to stop saying those words. If you can't listen to my words, Mommy is going to have to ______ (take away a toy, give you two minutes of time out" (one minute for every year) or whatever other reasonable punishment you can think of.)
Our four year old had this same issue. We just talk to our son as we would each other. ("that hurts my feelings, you need to use words like _____ (please, yes ma'm, no thank you...") Also, as he has gotten older, we have been able to help him relate to what he is saying. ("If your friend at school said that to you, how would you feel? Can you see how that makes Mom and Dad angry when you say that?")
Good luck! This stage will surely end, but it can surely end more positively depending on how you react. You can check out the website that I've sourced, it has a wealth of information.
This is a phase she is going through. There discovering more words and sometimes they don't tend to use them right. Correct her but also you need to watch how you say things as well as your body language. Like you might do or say things that you don't realize that you actually doing or saying and then you say I don't know where she gets from. I went through the same thing with my 2 year old daughter and I didn't realize how much I was contributing to her sassiness until my mother pointed it out to me and asked to me to repeat what i just said and that is when I realized me daughter was following my example. I hope this helps.
