My darling 3 year old

[Momof4]

These little people are so smart and know exactly how to push their mother's buttons and manipulate them into getting their own way. You betcha! It's really difficult to stand your ground over and over and not give in. I know. But it's worth it to put in the effort for a few really hard months of standing your ground until they learn that no matter what they do they will not get their way with bad behaviour.

A 3 year old child understands exactly what is happening but you as the Mom have to remember that your child is rationalizing things with a 3 year old brain, which is completely different than the way we understand. You have to stop and tell them at their level, NOT at your level, why things are the way they are in THEIR world, you know?

Good luck! I have 4 of those little mosters!
