First time mum here!!
So, exp. sometimes I tell my DC to come off the toilet so I can wipe him, he doesnt. I take him off, he starts crying that he wanted to come off himself without help. He will go back up.
I will take off his socks b4 going to bed, he will start crying that he wanted to and make me put them back on. He wanted to put the milk on the table etc.
These things trigger randomly and are on and off. He could be totally fine with me doing it and he could start crying randomly for little things.
Is this normal behavior? Do I fight it and stand my ground that if I did it already the deed was done or do they just grow out of it?
Thank you!

Is there a reason you don’t want him to?

my son does this all the time. I let him do it himself whenever I can so I'm not always saying no to him.

Same here. I learned to ask him if he wants to do it, before doing anything on my own

I also usually ask, but sometimes I ask and he is too preoccupied and doesnt answer or I forgot to ask....

It's normal as they start asserting themselves and wanting to be independent. I usually lift my kids chins and look them in the eye and say do you want to take your socks off or do you want me to. When kids are busy they don't process that someone asked them a question.

So don't ask when he's busy. Ask when he's done concentrating
And don't do anything for him that he can do for himself.

Like the others posted, make sure you have eye contact when you ask. Also, make sure you tell him that whatever he chooses will be it. No changing your mind afterwards. Let him feel the consequences of his decisions
