My 3 year old daughter constantly repeats herself over and over again. For example if she wants a cucumber and I am in the middle of pealing it she would ask me at least 10 times for it and I tell her wait till mommy finishes pealing it then you can have it. What should I do about that?

what am I holding?
or some other question to distract her.

Maybe.. tell her if she asks again "I will stop peeling etc and you wont have, we have to be patient !" or try to change the subject with her. However remember this too shall pass Wink

did you try what freilich suggested, telling her that if she asks again, she will NOT get it?

are you consistent about it - doing it every time?

if you only do it some of the time, she will keep trying!

persistence is a wonderful mida, yes, but if you are truly consistent and do not give her what she wants if she repeats herself, and you keep this up and don't give up, she WILL give up

you have to outlast her and that's not easy!
