little growler

[Unregistered]

I've got a 3 yo who growls whenever they're asked to do something. They do it, but I get a deep huffy, grunting, growl & hateful look each time. I was ignoring it as I feel it I attention seeking, but I noticed 2 others have picked it up and started responding in kind. Would you address it? What kind of logical consequence would fit here?

Maybe some type of fancy sticker chart for those who are good helpers? We'd talk about what that meant *exactly* (doing what you are asked, being cheerful and respectful, not moaning or whining, etc)

Those who earn stickers could get a reward?

I think it's disrespectful and my dck's get a time out.

Rewarding normal, expected behavior?

Rewarding normal, expected behavior?

I was trying to think of a positive way to end the behavior as generally I find it makes my day more pleasant.

But I suppose you could place him firmly in a TO when he behaves disrespectfully and leave some clean up for when the to is done.
