Nithya..even my son does this...not only to my mother but also to my MIL.

1.The reason is these are the two ppl he will be with when i am off to office.He believes that if they carry him , i will leave him & go.So he hesitates to go to them when i am there.

2.Kids do take revenge.Pravin will never leave me when i am there in home.But its so happened one night he felt hungry @ an unusual time & he cried..i couldnt read hat& my MIL managed to get him a bottle of milk.You know what ..for next one week he treated me like an alien.

so just give your daughter some time,dont force her,you act casual,dont give much importance to her behaviour,just spend a weekend with her & your mother together.She will be back in term.

I think she wants you to attend her. Also this is the age they would love being with young girls and would think that grannies are boring. I think if your mom goes for some tour for sometime your daughter would also feel her absense at the same time your mom will also get a break and could recharge her energy back.

Its a cycle. She would be back with same love soon.

You should make sure that if she uses such words like chee, poah, nee vendam..u will not like her . Don't bother if she pretends as though she doesnot listen. Keep telling that she should not use such words towards anyone.

She is feeling bored..as days pass.....she will be back to square 1. dont worry

Hi nithya,

i think this is a phase......and this too will go...

My daughter does this all the time....with me..my hubby, my MIL, FIL depending on Her Highness mood...She will be with my hubby playing..suddenly she will start crying saying "appa enna thotutaaa..." and God onlyknows what hpnd....then again after some time she does this.

Hope all turns out for the good only. So dont worry...

Hi Nithya,

Good question. This is happening in all the houses nowadays. Benita is a small girl who is getting used to ur mother's place now. Just tell her if she says unwanted words to her grandma to go then she will go away or grandma won't feed u. Teach her to tell sorry even though its too early for her to feel but it is ur duty to tell her.

Ask ur mother to pretend as though she is ignoring Benita and get things done from others may be thiscan change the scene. My son also will do the same when my inlaws come here for a week stay. He won't turn to me even for dressing him up or for bath he wants only his grandma to do that. Sometimes he comes to me  asking for his toys or sketch pencils then it is my turn, I will say go get it fr the person whom u love the most then he will say "ennaku amma thaan puddikum". thats how I tackle the problem even u can say to her if u love me then u should do whatever I say(love blackmai!)

Don't worry.

Hi Nithya,

This happened with my son, too. My father is a very loving person and one day my son declared that he doesn't like Thata. I was very sad because for my father, my son was his everything. Then we found out that kids like people who play with them. So then we asked my dad to play with him. Even now when any adult (grandparents, even relatives) comes to our house, we ask them to play some Monopoly, Scrabble with my son etc. This helps in faster bonding. The kids start talking and liking the person. There are some kids who naturally talk to everybody but my son is not like that.

Since your daughter is too young, you can ask your mom to keep some play time with her. Like playing hide and seek and other such games. Now, she sees grandma as somebody who regularly provides food and she is too young to understand the value of a person.

Thanks, vani, poornima, gayatri, rajula and shanthi for all your overwhelming repsonse. As u all said it must be a phase for her, I've been trying to make her understand...

I've asked mom to indulge her in more of outdoor games....

Guess it would re-shape well...SHe is going better now...

Once again

Thanks so much
