Or how she gets confused by his conversation. I though of my kids. My kids are at different levels of learning various things. Speech for example. Olivia is very articulate & if the boys pronounce something wrong she will correct them over & over & it causes fights. We have taken to telling her "Its ok, they are still learning. Some things you are still learning too. Mommy & daddy will help them learn." She finds it funny when we explain that she used to call herself "Yaya" & now we often hear her say "Thats ok, you're still learning to do _____"<br /><br />Maybe explaining it simply to her, "Ameilia just like you are still learning how to ______, Anderson is still learning how to talk as nice as you do." Or "Anderson is still learning what it means to be in trouble, you used to not know what it meant either, but you learned. Anderson will learn too, he just hasn't yet." Putting in the most simple of terms for her.<br /><br />Might not work for your kids or your situation, but I liked that we were addressing her concerns without making a big deal about it or just telling her to ignore them.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382510534747063265noreply@blogger.com
