Does anyone else have this problem with thier child?

Question

my little girl is 15mo. old and shes absessed with pushing the stores shoping carts and wont give up on it

Answer 1

it means she is the same as millions of toddlers around the world

Answer 2

I think that's normal.  Just make sure that she doesn't put her hands in her mouth after she touches the shopping carts because they are filled with germs.  You might even want to disinfect them before she pushes them.

Answer 3

yEA SHE IS GROWIHN UP sorry caps lock is on

Answer 4

she's a typical 15 month old.

Answer 5

I had this too when my son was about that age. Its the age of beginning to do like mom and dad. Independence begins and changes at each level. She may be obsessed if you are trying to get her to stop. Encourage her to help you with something else if she is fighting you to push the cart. Or just let her do it for a little while. She'll find something else to be distracted by. Kids are exciting like that. I think it's so adorable that she's doing that. My 7 year old doesn't even want to go with me anymore!

Answer 6

Normal--after 4 with oldest 19 and youngest 20 months--just strap her in the shoppping cart seat and chat with her to keep her busy--don't let her go in the store.

Answer 7

at this age she wants to be just like mommy. let her, teach her how to turn it. have fun with it.

Answer 8

It means that she is a very determined, normal 15 month old.

Answer 9

unless she is doing anything else weird its perfectly normal. she is learning that when she does something there is an effect (cause and effect relationship)

when she pushes the buggy, it goes and for them its a new concept and very interesting

Answer 10

It means that's she's hungry and you're shopping to slow for her.

Answer 11

This is only the first of many obsessions.  At her age she likes to push things around, so give her something to push.  Get her a little shopping cart to push and when you're at the store it's rise only.  Eventually she'll get it out of her system....

Answer 12

It means she wants to do like mommy does...it's not really a problem and I'm wondering why it bothers you?

Answer 13

She just probably wants to feel involved and helpful

Answer 14

She wants to be like you. Why don't you buy her one of the little shopping carts for her self. Let her put some of the food in it and follow along side of you. She can also hand it to the lady and put a few bags in her cart when your done checking out. That way she is helping and being like mommy.
