So my daughters daycare mentioned something and I guess I don't know how to properly address/fix the "problem." If you try to get my daughter (14 months) to do something she will just stand there and put her arms up until you help her. They want to teach her to be more independent and I guess I didn't think of it as being an issue. Any advice? I do notice she will do it at home as well, when we make her dinner and ask if she's ready she gets excited but won't move, she will sit down and put her arms up until we pick her up and put her in her chair. TIA!

She's very independent and keeps to herself lol she use to be all about daddy and since I've been pregnant it's been all about me. I think babies are smarter then people make them out to be! I'll try that though, I didn't realize until today that we just grab her when she does it. Thank you for the advice @whitney (:
All children are different. Some just want more attention and affection. I would just ask her to do it until she figures it out and then when she does do it I would hug or hold for a sec rewarding her. Redirecting children is key too. Tell her to do it like come here and then we can do this! Getting her excited for the next thing.
They make them get their own food, they eat by themselves and she drinks out of a cup now! After they're done they'll dump their own plates and wash their own hands etc. so I don't get why sometimes she will and sometimes she won't!
She was doing really well, they try getting her to do things by herself and she'll do really good and then I feel like someone gives in and helps her and it starts all over. When I'd get there she'd cry cause she was happy I was there, but would stand there until someone picked her up, but the last couple weeks she'd walk to me on her own. They asked what we do to fix it and I've never thought of it lol we usually just stand there until she figures it out lol idk/: @whitney I also feel like the further along I get the more clingy she gets so maybe that's it.
I used to teach toddlers and to get them to be more independent we would let them do things on their own. Like feed themselves, sit in their own chair, tell them to ask for more via sign language or by saying more. Free play is also a huge way for children to learn, especially learning from the older children. When they want us to pick them up to so something we would ask them to walk over. I takes a little time to get it down but it's incredible what they can learn to do in time.
No problem! You'll find when the baby gets here she might get jealous as well. One of my toddlers wouldn't even talk to his mom for like 2 months after the baby was born! And another that would hate to talk about her new brother. Some though love it and want to be helpful!
