How do I stop my daughter from calling her dad by his first name?

This just started a couple of days ago. I obviously call my husband by his first name. Now, my 2 year old does the same. Why is she doing this? What can I do to stop it. My husband is just as frustrated.

How do I stop my daughter from calling her dad by his first name?
You can do it one or two ways...you can start addressing your husband by daddy or dad and hope that your daughter will catch on or, depending on your daughter's comprehension level, you can ask your husband not to respond to her unless she is addressing him as daddy. My daughter got a kick out of calling me by my first name...it eventually wore off because I didn't show any reaction, which a lot of times children are looking for a reaction of shock.
Reply:Give her a little time, refer to him as daddy when you are talking to her, she will get over it in a few months.. My daughter went through a phase of calling her grandfather 'papa' since that was what i called him, it was hilarious.
Reply:Call him "Dad" yourself until she catches on. She is only imitating you.
Reply:tell her no its daddy to you
Reply:you should start calling him dad or daddy, she will folow suit. but watch out it will become habit for you too! i still call my husband daddy and probably always will. in fact there is a couple at our church in their 50s and she calls her husband daddy too still!
Reply:You should start calling him "daddy" instead of by his first name. Good Luck!
Reply:Well, she's only two and since kids at that age are like sponges-they absorb and do everything their parents do,-- she is basically just copying you... Maybe you can start calling your husband "daddy" when she's around you guys so that she too can start calling him "daddy"! Hope I helped!! Good Luck!!
Reply:I call my husband "daddy" when we're with our little one... try that...





The more frustrated you get, the more she'll do it...
Reply:She will out grow it. This is very common with toddlers. As long as you keep refering to him as 'dad' (i.e. 'Why don't go give dad a hug') she will learn that thats what he is to be called. Also, when she says 'Tom' (or whatever), say 'No, say Dad' Don't worry, she'll outgrow it.

Reply:heheheheh my daughter does the same thing... shes almost 2. my husband calls me honey so she calls me honey.. I just look at her and say thats not my name.. then she'll say mommy and I'll say thank you thats my name.


just correct him or have your husband correct him.. he just probably thinks its funny.. its part of the age my son went through a phase too where he was calling me by my first name..
Reply:My daughter used to do that so I started to refer to my husband as "Daddy" whenever she was around. It worked
Reply:nothing. i did that too for a while cuz i heard my mom calling him by his name but i grew out of it. now it's just "dad"
Reply:well shes only repeating what she hears, my son did the same thing at age 3,when ever i would call my husband I would say daddy instead of calling his name, and he caught on
Reply:uh, call him daddy, she's just mimicking you.
