She seems to spend most of her time giving me commands! I have been working on convincing her that I am the mommy, and I am the one who is supposed to be in charge. Since she was a baby, especially after reading a psychologist who encouraged parents to follow the lead of their babies to create rapport, I have let her set the agenda. One unfortunate consequence: instead of seeing this as a privilege, one of her core beliefs is that this is how life works, and it is supposed to be this way!

In our house it’s usually clothes on the wrong way as someone is just getting used to dressing herself, but that’s how we reward the effort, rather then “fixing” it.
