I have two little boys VERY close in age and recently they have started ignoring anything I say to them.
When i ask them to do something they either ignore my existence entirely or they will stamp their feet and whinge about what I have asked them to do.
If they are sent to their room they stamp and scream until I go in.
If I ask them politely to be quiet and calm down it just adds fuel to their fire and it seems the only time they do listen is when I lose all patience and shout.
Which I hate.
Sometimes it makes me feel so angry that they simply do not care what I have to say and I know they are children but how to i communicate how disrespectful that is to a 3 & 4 year old.
Does anyone have any tips to get them even slightly onboard as I am so fed up of fighting them on the simplest of tasks?
