Answer 1

LOL.

Listen, if you are on the computer and she comes along wanting to use it, tell her you are busy.

If she throws a temper, let her.She needs to learn respect and if her mother isn't willing to teach her maybe you need to explain it.

Hey tell her that its your turn on the computer at the moment as you need to do something and you will come and find her when its her turn, go and tell her to go and play with mummy etc..

My son is pretty similar, we give him 2 hours every night to watch his programs.. cartoons etc, but when we switch over cuz its our turn we get half an hour of him screaming I Want To Watch My Programs!!! I just say its mummy's turn to watch my programs now, but if ur a good boy we can watch one more of your programs before you go to bed!

Its very frustrating, but just say go and watch TV and after Dora the Explorer finishes its your turn on the computer... but right now its my turn!

Get her mind on something else. Go get a toy that she really likes and get her playing with that while your at the computer. My neice is 1 and when Im on the computer she wants to get on my lap and type it never fails everyyyy time. lol.She likes to make the noise and see letters on the scrren though she has no clue what shes typing. I get her fav baby or something and occupy her while Im there. But its never too much time at one time.

Answer 4

tell her you will set a timer and when it goes off it will be her turn, and when she is on it, set it for her and tell her it is her turn.   This is a great way to teach children how to share.

Answer 5

honestly i have tht problem all the time with my little sister and what i usually do is i make a deal with her that she can go on when im done, or pop a movie in the living room or somewhere else, or do something with her that she would want to do for a little bit. As long as your somewhat close with them you can make a deal.

Answer 6

If you honestly need to use it for school (not goofing off) then tell her "i need to do this for school and you can't use it right now".

The other option is to assign computer time for her when you're at school or when you're not going to need it, say for 30 minutes after you get home from school for the day. To be honest a 3 year old doesn't really need to be on the computer at all.
