So it happened, yesterday my 3 1/2 year old pretended to smoke a toy. She says to me "hey look mommy I'm smoking" and I just froze. She's never been around it, I don't know if she's seen anyone do it (unless in passing in a parking lot or something) so I didn't really know how to handle it. I just made a HUGE deal about how gross and dangerous it was and asked her where she learned that. She said a friend at daycare (who I know parents don't smoke either but she's older.) so I just said next time you tell her that smoking is Very dangerous and disgusting so we don't pretend to do it. I was so caught off guard and know I didn't handle it the best. Have you had this situation yet?
