From time to time I will answer readers questions as they come in. I thought I would share this specific one because this question comes up a lot. 

QUESTION:

Sometimes my 3-year-old can be sort of mean to her dad- like when he goes to get her in the morning she will scream that she only wants mommy or sometimes she pushes him away when he comes over to say to her when he gets home from work.  I know she adores my husband and they have so much fun playing together, but I'm not sure why she acts this way towards him sometimes.  Any thoughts?
