Background - I try to answer her questions. Foster curiosity, help her understand her world, etc. etc. She's two and has a million questions. Fair enough. But when she wants to stall doing something, she'll start asking fake questions.
"Please help mama pick up the legos and put them in the box."
"What are legos, mama?" "What is pick up, mama?" "What is the box, mama?" And on, and on and on... Repeating the same questions again and again.
ARRRGGGGGHHHHHH. I don't want want to stop legitimate questions, but she also needs to follow simple instructions without making me insane.
What if you tried telling her "after we pick up the legos, we'll talk about it" My DD responds positively to potential rewards.
