The 2 yr old I watch asks the same question. I will answer and she will ask the exact question again.?

Question

She will ask a question, I will answer it. She will ask the same question again, I will answer it. She will ask the exact same question again, I will answer it..... you get the idea. This is a new habit, any advice???

Answer 1

Hello darling. You've been spoonfeeding her with information she needs to know. Now its time for her to actively response you. If she keeps on repeating, ASK HER BACK WHAT SHE ASK YOU and LET HER ANSWER :) (To see whether she registers your answer in her head or not) Then praise her for knowing the answer and give a high five.

Answer 2

children tend to do that

sometimes they just like hearing the answer lol

Answer 3

i would say this is to do with her parents not regularly answering her questions - simply !

Answer 4

i think shes messing with you.

Answer 5

just keep on making up different answers. it depends on the question-whats the question?

Answer 6

She will do it as long as you continue to answer- the same reason they will watch the same DVD over and over, why they want you to read the same book over and over. I think its because it gives them a sense of security if everything is the same all the time.

Next time - just say: I told you that one now you have to ask a different question. As if it were a game. Encourage new questions instead of responding too  many time to the same one.  

Answer 7

good lord shes a toddler! toddlers on average ask about 400 questions a day! wether it be all the same question or all different questions

so just get over it. seriously

Answer 8

Make sure you look at the child in the eye while answering.

Eye contact can really help resolve this very normal syndrome.

Answer 9

Instead of answering the question, say: "What do you think?" as see what she says.

Then, you can get her to talk about something else. Maybe she'd like for you to ask her questions every once in a while. Kids like to come up with crazy answers sometimes.

Kids are like that! :)

Answer 10

If you find that irritating just wait for WHY? to start!

Answer 11

VERY NORMAL

Answer 12

She's probably just trying to get a rise out of you; the parrot act obviously annoys you. My baby cousin does the same thing. Unless, that is,  the question is about a traumatic experience; the child may ask over and over so that they can reason why and how the event happened and may repeat questions. Also, if she's asking something that's hard for her to understand the answer to; that may prompt her to ask and ask until she understand (you may speed the process by explaining more fully).  Again, the two-year-old is probably just trying to get your attention (by way of annoying you). She may have seen the parrot act on TV. You could emphasize that the answer doesn't change, but mostly you just have to live with it. Its just a phase.

Answer 13

tell her u already answered that question and u wont answer it again till the next day

Answer 14

try to keep her away from asking q if you get her of that she wont remember the q she asked and will stop asking them... or just make up a different answer every time to kepp her asking and if she keeps asking she will get tired of hearing to many different answers and she will stop well it worked for me

Answer 15

I'd say just to:

1) try and distract her

2) answer once and don't answer again

or

3) keep coming up with different answers.

It's just a phase, soon she'll get over it.

Answer 16

Well answer the question the first time

then when she asks again say like didn't u just ask that and c how she responds to you.

if she continues to answer then just ignore it and change the subject or "distract" her by going outside or playing a game with her. Shell eventually realize that you don't want to answer and after awhile shell stop repeating the question  

Answer 17

answer the 1st question, then when she asks again, just say, you already asked me that, and i told you the answer.  can you remember what i said?

Answer 18

Don't know for sure. Sound like she needs attention. Try doing it back to her. That should get her attention.

Answer 19

Man too is be to yong be smokin dat stuf.

Edit - Thumms down?  She not old nuff, man!

Answer 20

try to distract her from Q&A time is the best i can come up with... aren;t kids great! :)

Answer 21

maybe you haven't said the answer she wants to hear, try different ones, kid friendly answers...doncha just love them?

Answer 22

it means she does not under stand your answer try answering for a 2 year old........ or she wants to make conversation and that's all shes got so bring up something diffrent
