Question

I have a three year old daughter and i am 19. Lately she is acting out lying and hidding things what to do???

Answer 1

She's just testing her boundaries, trying to see what she can get away with. Make it clear what she's doing is wrong,you will not tolerate it.... but also let her know you still love her.She'll outgrow this phase soon....or at least until she's a teenager :-)

Answer 2

it's normal for a 3 yr. old.If u feel something's wrong,try to get it out of her.

Answer 3

it's fairly normal.  do not reward it.  do not make it funny or seem like a game.  make it clear you disapprove.

Answer 4

when the run away you need to grab their arm and look strait into their eyes. say "that is not ok! you need to listen to me,(name)" and makes sure it does not seem like a joke!don't be like a monster tho, just a calm voice but strict.

Answer 5

Sit her down and talk to her about it.  Tell her that you don't like what she is doing and explain why it's wrong.  You could also tell her that it hurts your feelings/makes you unhappy.  Just calmly discuss the situation with her, and treat her like an adult.  If she continues to do it, give her warnings and small punishments like time out.

Answer 6

This is very normal for young kids! Discipline her when she lies.. hides something from you... or does something you do not approve it! Whether it be the nose on the wall, naughty chair, corner... however it is you discipline... Let her know "this is wrong"! Mommy will NOT accept this!! It's a phase... Most of them go through it!! I know both of mine have... Be strong... and don't let her think it's okay!!
