I am on my 4th generation. I have a single female whom just adopted a child. Every time I praise the child the child just stands there waving at me, but stuck. She does not move/proceed with task. She does nothing until I move her again. I have shut the game off and started again, still the same happens. If I praise her, she gets stuck..LOL Is this a little glitch?

If you look at her details you'll probably see that she dislikes jumping. Since jumping is part of the reaction to praising she gets stuck. You'll have to move her with the hand to get her unstuck, I'm afraid.

You can find an explanation for this behavior here. If it really bothers you, you can use a desensitizing kit to remove the dislike.

Thanks guys! Yep, she dislikes jumping.. LOL

That proves that their dislikes are genuine dislikes. I remember something similar in VV when I tried to train a villager as a Doctor and he'd run as fast as anything, until I checked his dislikes.
