Yall how can I get my 4 year old to stop roaring at people and acting like an animal. It’s driving me nuts. Even at her gymnastics she will try to crawl around and roar at her friends instead of listening to her coach. TIA

Depends how you parent. I’d tell my kid that gymnastics doesn’t allow animals in their building and if she continues then we will have to take a break till she decides to be the smart respectful little girl she is

I’m so curious if your daughter is in my sons gymnastics class😂 he has a little girl in his who does this exact thing.
But honestly, it’s so normal… her coach should be correcting her if it’s an issue.

No idea my 4 year old thinks she’s a dinosaur, T-Rex to be exact😂 so she roars at everyone. We ask that she communicate that she’d like to play dinosaurs and to wait for someone to say yes or no.

My 4 year old does the same thing! Sometimes she is a cat and sometimes she is a puppy dog! I have decided that this is in fact normal and that if you can’t beat them, join them! It’s more concerning if they don’t use their imagination and act like they’re favorite animals or characters. After all, they are 4!

My son does it too. I just had to redirect him, a lot. Telling him no does nothing.
