being a first time mom im not sure what im doing..LOL My daughter follows direction well. tell her to put something on the table and she will do it. Tell her to sit in her chair and she will do it. tell her to give kisses.. she does it BUT when you tell her to "come her" or "stay by mommy" she wont do it.
let say im getting her in my car. (im in a condo complex so the parking lot does nto have a lot of traffic.) Sometimes my hand will be full and ill be putting the stuff in my car.. of course i have a good eye on her. she will start to walk away. i tell her to come back and she just looks at me and keeps going. she does this when we are in our back yard.. she will just keep walking. what i dont understand is.. she can follow direciton well but how come she doesnt follow the direciton of "come here" or come to mommy" "stay by mommy" how do i get her to listen? |

| my daughter is18 months also and is that same way!! she will give me anything i ask answer questions like how much do you love mommy and she will stretch out her arms, but can i let go of her hand when we are at church or the park without her taking off and running. i do know my daughter also loves people. what about yours? maybe it is because they ar not scared of anything. my daughter has literally cried because a stranger has not picked her up . in really do not know if that is why she will not stay by me, nut i know i have seen kids her age that will stay close by. sorry i am really not much help but knpw i am going thru the same thing |

UGH! I sooo know what you mean. My daughter is such a good girl when I ask her to pick out a book or help mommy get the apple juice or give loves. Ask her to wait for mommy...HA! I think they come hardwired with the obstinate independant want to explore everything RIGHT NOW attitude. If I could figure out how to make her do what I want when I want...well...things would be different here! LOL

| LOL my son who is also 18 months does the same thing I have learned that children at that age have selective hearing they select what they want to hear and dismiss the rest : ) I havent found anything to get him to listen except for bribbing him I will hold a toy or sippy cup or cookie and when he sees it he comes running if you figure something out please let me know cause Im looking for a better way to get him to listen also |

| We taught Sophie at a young age to stand in a certain spot while I am getting things in the car and she knows what spot to satnd and she does not move. You have to be firm and tell them what to do at a young age!!! It made it really easy when we had our second child because she waits until he is in the car and then we walk together to her side, or if you think they won't do that let them climb in to the driver seat and pretend to drive!!! NO KEYS OF COURSE!!!! |

Thanks every one!
Well i tried something out. Hopefully this will continue to work. This is for the car situation. (first i must explain that i dont have power locks/windows, what ever it is called..i have to open the passenger door first in order to unlock the back door.) Since my daughter listens to direction well... i gave my daughter something to carry for me. told her to help mommy! i brought her to the car and told her open her door... she knows what door her car seat is in. Even though she is too small to actually open it.. it actually gives me time to get my stuff in and open the back door and then help her in. =D So i have done it twice so far and she did very well!!! We will see how long that will last. LOL
