Son Calling Me By My First Name
I need some help. My son, Jory, will be 16 months on the 25th. He has started calling me "Ash." It's odd because whenever someone is talking to him they refer to me as mommy or mom. He can say mommy, but he has never called me that.
I've been calling myself mommy more trying to reinforce it. I sign when we are signing. What am I not thinking of that I can do? If I ask him to bring something to mommy, he does. And when other people say give this to mommy or where is mommy, he comes to me. So he knows I'm mommy. This morning he was calling for me. And I said, I'm mommy, not Yash. When I got to his room. I repeated, I'm mommy. And he countered back, Ash. I repeated mommy again and he nodded his head and said Ash again. Help. |

He's too young to mean any disrespect and so dont take it so hard. my boyfriend was older and had some grandkids and my son called him granpa frank and still does. at first i was shocked and tried to stop it and then he reminded me that children cannot think abstractly or understand the significance of what they are saying and not to worry about it. all is well keep doing what ur doind and smile so he knows ur not mad and im sure hell get the point!

Thanks for responding. I knew he wasn't being disrespectful, but that little devil knew what he was doing.
Now at 3, when I ask him my name, it's mommy.... |
