Young children tend to love their parents, sometimes against great odds. But she may grow not to respect you, unless you consistently sound like you mean business when you issue an order, and then follow up on it. Parents who constantly sound as if they are pleading with a child cannot expect much in the way of either compliance or respect. None of us likes to be whined at. Most of us respond much better to good, clear-cut directions.
Children do too.
Speaking of ambiguous instructions, here I have to tell one on my daughter. She is working very hard on teaching her five-year old daughter to treat animals with kindness and respect. She explains the cat is old and doesn't want to be bothered. The other day the little one was walking back and forth past where the cat was sleeping on the back of a couch. Several times as she went by she reached out to pet the cat.
