How to deal with 3 year old stage?

[Chans11]

Hi all, my daughter turns 3 this weekend and I’m really struggling to deal with the tantrums. When shes doing things she enjoys she is good as gold, if I have to go to the shops etc she will be fine for approx 5 mins then gets bored. Wont hold my hand or stay in the trolley/pushchair without fussing and whinging. I dread taking her out but also is a nightmare staying at home all day. I feel like ive got a constant headache and feel drained by it all..feel like I go to work for a break! How do people deal with this stage? Thanks

I feel this 1000%! We're trying to get ours into nursery. Have you had any thoughts of that too?

Hi - she already goes nursery and loves it..they always comment on how well behaved she is but think thats because they always have so many different activities to do
