My daughter is 3 and she says I can't all the time when I try and teach her things, is this normal? |
For instance while teaching her to ride her bike I tell her to pedal and show her while explaining what to do she says I can't do it. This also goes along with the whole potty training thing. She simply refuses to use the toliet we haven't had any progress at all. She is always telling me she can't do it. Is there something wrong with her confidence, is this a problem? Or do all kids just do this and its a stage that she will get over? i have 5 kidsand they all did this at one time or another. Try using positive reinforcement for things you see her do own her own. even those little things that dont really matter just make a big deal out of it and shell enjoy it and want to hear more and hopefully that will motivate hear to do good when she tries new things too.good luck and just have lots of patience on hand! Just keep reassuring her that she can do it - tell her as many times as you have to in order to get her to believe it. Just continue to have faith in her and be positive. It's better for you to deal with this now then when she gets older. Yes it is very normal it is just she hasn't gotten used to it yet so keep trying. Three is a little early for riding a bicycle. Just keep her on the tricycles for now. Tell her the word "can't" isn't in her vocabulary or yours. It's a negative word and she's a very positive girl. It just doesn't fit her.' It's how you're reacting to her. Be persistant and positive and if she truly doesn't wish to do it at that point in time, don't force her. The more choices you give her, being a guide instead of a dictator, the more shockingly agreeable she'll become. You'll be amazed. It is normal, but you can put a stop to it. When you are trying to potty train and she says, "I can't." Reply , in a very calm voice (this is the most important part) "Oh, that makes me sad, I guess you aren't ready to grow up, when you are ready to try, let me know and I will get these big-girl panties back out." It really helps if they have a character that she just loves on them and her pull-ups don't (sometimes you have to buy the cheap kind to really make this work). The same goes for the bike. Tell her how sad you are that you will have to put her bike away until she is ready to try. The key ingredient is to be calm and make her choose to try. |
