Question

My two year old g,baby, wants to do everthing her five year old sister is doing,how can i help her be herself,

Answer 1

My 3 year old son copies everything my 4 year old daughter does and say. There is nothing wrong with it, and my son is still himself. Younger siblings tend to look up to their older siblings

Answer 2

shes learning from the older child,eventually she will find her own place and do her own thing,dont worry,its natural process.

Answer 3

my 2 year old and 3 year old copys thier older siblings too..i dont see anything wrong with it as a matter of fact they are learning which is a good thing..i say let her be she is her own person and you will see it in her too  

Answer 4

Its natural....  She is looking up to her big sis and there many many more years of that to come

Answer 5

Sounds like a normal child to me :) children learn through imitation and the world around them such as immediate family!

But if you want to help her be individual/independent:

-give her choices---such as clothes, let her pick what she wants to wear---maybe hold up two items and pick out of the two.

-let her pick which yoghurt of something from the shops when you go shopping.

-Make sure that she has toys for her development stage-maybe ask her sister to play with little sisters toys with her.

-when five year old is out spend lots of time with her and ask what she wants to do, where she wants to go etc.
