Hi please help! My 3 year old DD has been driving me insane lately. Seems like ever since she turned 3. She will not do as she's told. She won't listen and is constantly messing around. It is also about her testing boundaries and being independent. But it's winding me up since it happens everyday! I know we should praise her more for good behaviour but I haven't seen any of those good days for weeks! Examples are just simple requests such as getting ready for bath, getting dressed etc.
I also have a 1 year old DS which is probably adding to my "lose it" state. It has come to shouting and me swearing under my breath and saying things I shouldn't say. Won't give you any examples! You must know where I'm coming from.......Please no suggestions on how I should deal with my stress. I'm doing things to solve it but it doesn't seem to be enough!
Also everyday it seems like she would have an episode of long crys basically a tantrum. Her tantrums have been getting worse since she turned 3 - not better!
So with the tantrums and not listening, is what it's been like! BTW, we do have the time out/naughty step already.
Any helpful tips? thanks.
