So how do you handle intentionally rude or inappropriate comments by your new talkers?
I know he's young, but this 2yo is really driving me bananas. He speaks very well, though I'm not entirely sure he knows what he's saying. I think he's parroting what dcm and dcd (great role models too ) are saying. Regardless, what he's saying is rude. Mostly it's the screaming of NO WAY at me. Today he combined his screaming at me and throwing baby punches at me. Slapping my hand away as I put on his shoes and coat. I tell him "we doing talk like that, it's not polite, come xyz" or whatever I was trying to get him to do. Since this has continued for all 4 months of care he's been here I'm at a loss. He's only 2-3 full days a week so maybe that's why he's not getting it. I need to talk to mom today, but she's lazy as all get out and it will do no good.
