Any thoughts?

Sorry I had to do it

booey2 replied: Not sure, but maybe try to not respond when he says "HUH", wait a bit and see if he says Pardon me. If he doesn't say it gently remind him. He will eventually get it.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: reply back "you heard me"
What really helped our kids get over that, is that we make sure to get their attention before we tell them something, so that they know we are talking to them, and not only realize we're talking to them after we're done saying what it is we need to say, prompting the "huh?" response.
moped replied: So I take it this is normal.....
MoonMama replied: Brae says hmmmm? With such a tone, it drives me nuts.
luvmykids replied: OMG all of mine are TERRIBLE with the HUUUUUH? It drives me c-r-a-z-y
I've started ignoring them when they say it, it bugs them so they say "Excuse me mommy, I didn't hear you".
moped replied: I remember Jack doing that too!
DVFlyer replied: Me: Chloe, can you bring me your plate when you're done?
Chloe: Huh?
Me: Chloe, do you want some Ice Cream?
Chloe: Yes!
Me: Ok, now that I know you can hear me, bring me your plate when you're done.
BAC'sMom replied: Totally normal.
moped replied: You are hilarious!
I do that stuff to Jack too! He HATES it
Calimama replied: That's what my mom did too!
luvmykids replied: Whew, I'm glad to know I won't scar them by ignoring the "HUH?"
Our Lil' Family replied: Thomas says WHAT? and I can't stand that so when he says it I just say what he should say and make him repeat it...then we can move on. Ex: Me: Thomas Him: What? Me: Yes ma'am Mommy? Him: Yes ma'am Mommy? Me: Thank you.....can you please.....etc
moped replied: Yes I do that sort of thing too..........
Me: Jack could you please get me a face cloth for Laila Jack:"HUH" Jack: I said HUH Jack: why aren't you talking to me Me: Because I don't know what HUH means Jack Jack: Yes you do Mommy Me: No I really don't Jack, do you remember the right thing to say? Jack: Yes Me: What is it then? Jack: You know Me: Yes I do but I want you to know as well Jack: Don't worry, I do know
As I walk to get a face cloth for Laila!

MoonMama replied: If he didn't have such a tone with it, it wouldn't be so bad.
