She told Dora who she was going to be for Halloween! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1916445 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 15:41:58 +0000 Worrywart 1916445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DD always answers Dora's questions. She loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1916424 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 14:57:54 +0000 Andrea 1916424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DD2 loves Dora and answers all the questions. I think she has learned a lot from the show! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1916220 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 10:11:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1916220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he hasn't seen Dora, but when he watches his favorite shows he sings the songs with them, and likes to talk about what he sees, or what is funny to him. It's pretty cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1916091 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 00:14:35 +0000 littleblessings 1916091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any interactive shows. My DD talks back to them all. Even non interactive ones are talked to ex. Someone falls "oh no hurt. It's okay", someone cries "s/he cry. No don't cry. It's okay", someone disappears "s/he go away. Come back". She has gained a ton of words in her vocabulary with her tv time. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1916085 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 23:58:25 +0000 Mrs. D 1916085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talk back to model, and I'm hoping she will soon. She stares at her shows, and I'd like them to become more interactive. Fingers crossed she catches on soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1904424 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 21:12:47 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1904424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He will repeat things she and other characters say and point things out but he doesn't answer her questions yet or follow her directions. Same for Kai Lan and Blues Clues and other shows like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1904373 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:44:56 +0000 sunny 1904373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! But instead of answering the question, she says what boots says "Say map! Say map!" Or "backpack!!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1904285 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 20:07:08 +0000 PinkElephant 1904285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She hasn't seen enough Dora for her to start talking back, but I was shocked when she'd literally seen ONE episode, and the next time I turned on the tv to some other cartoon, she recited a line from the Dora episode we'd watched a few days before ("A baby! A baby! A baby!"), matching the tone and inflection with scary episode. </p> <p>It's creepy how well the writers can get into the heads of kids - and adults! I had the "fantastic gymnastics" song in my head for a good week after hearing it on the show. (And now I'm going to start singing it again - crap!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1904251 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 19:55:45 +0000 Bao 1904251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doesn't watch Dora, but there is another show that talks...Team Umi Zoomi? I may have butchered that, but she has talked to that one before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-answer-doras-rhetorical-questions#post-1904229 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 19:37:48 +0000 mrbee 1904229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the longest time, our daughter never answered Dora's rhetorical questions and silly exhortations ("Do *you* see the lollipop?" "Say, Arriba!!") But lately, she's started talking back to Dora and answering all of her questions! Well played, Nickelodeon... well played. You're actually teaching my daughter a little bit - I'm impressed!</p> <p>Does your LO ever talk back to Dora, and answer her rhetorical questions and random exhortations? </p>
