In this episode: It’s common for children – toddlers especially – to ask the same question again and again. The behavior can be exhausting and annoying. Perhaps they won’t take “no” for an answer, or they innocently ask, “Why, why, why?” when you’ve answered their question repeatedly. Janet discusses the causes and possible remedies.
Hi Janet,
What could be the respectful response to my 3 year old who doesn’t ask the same questions again and again but different questions all the time. He seems to have questions about basically everything and it’s tiring for me to keep answering it. I am sure he even senses my discomfort. I have come to a point where I really cannot answer more questions, but I don’t know how do I say It without him feeling rejected or unloved?
