Toddlers and bad habits...how to change?
My DD has taken to using her sleeves as napkins and it's driving me crazy! She knows how to use a napkin and will on occasion but rather use her sleeve. She's ruining a lot of clothes!  It's hard to try to catch her before she does it and asking her not to doesn't seem to help. I have started to overly praise everyone else at the table for using their napkins and ignoring her sleeve use hoping that it will encourage her. It may be starting to work but I'm wondering if anyone else has some suggestions.
I do try to push up her sleeves but she freaks out because she doesn't like it.

Honestly, I'd probably put her in short-sleeve shirts during mealtime for a while. Maybe without the opportunity to use the sleeves after a while she'll forget about her habit? Especially with the warmer weather coming and less long sleeves?

Good idea...I'm going to try that.
