My daughter says "I CAN'T" about everything.
Trying to put socks on? "I CAN'T!"
Getting in the carseat? "I CAN'T!"
Putting her jacket on? "I CAN'T!"
Eating dinner? "I CAN'T!"
"I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!""I CAN'T!"
HOW do I make this stop? Lol. She has done these things for forever now and suddenyl everything is "I CAN'T!"
Tips? Advice? Please? :)

With my 4 year old son it was colors, reading, finding something. Everything became "I can't". The way he said it was so down on himself. Finally I said "Yes the hell you can. You can do this and whatever else you choose to and if I hear that again I will put soap in your mouth". I didn't actually need the soap but he stopped saying it and started DOING instead of saying "I can't". I don't recommend this, just saying my experience. With my 3 year old I tell her "yes you can now do it". That works for her.
