Supernanny???

Question

I think I need supernanny~!!!

How can I teach my 3 year old daughter to stop using the word "no" for everything. I am getting really stressed over dealing with her attitude and disobedient behavior. I have tried many things (timeouts/take away toys/1-2-3) and she just screams like she is being murdered, literally, I call her shreaky!

I need to get a handle on her now or else I will be in a physco ward. lol

She is a great kid its just when she does not get what she wants....or does something wrong and cannot except the consequences, like timeout or a tap on the hand.

Anyone got any advice or tips on dealing with her and actually getting results?? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Ignore her and tell her who's boss. When you put her in timeout and she gets out of her spot put her back and tell her that mommy can play this game all day and set the timer and if she moves put her back in time out and re-set the timer.

I'm not being a smartass- there are really good tips on that site. Lol.

Answer 3

just ignore her when you throws the temper tantrums. if she's in time out and she keeps moving out of her time out area while she's screaming put her back in time out. say i'm adding another minute cuz you got out of time out then walk away and ignore her dont pay her any attention when she's throwing these temper tantrums.

or if your going to put her in time out. tell her she has to sit there until she calms down then you'll start her time out. thats what my sis does with her daughters (2&5). she may have to sit there for 20 mins but she'll get it that throwing tantrums are not guna get her anywhere. if anything their gunna put her in time out longer

Stop using no for simple things. They like to copy their parents. When she says no to you say very clear, strict, and look close into her eyes (squat down on her level),                                                                                               "(her name), you do not say "no" to me. I am your mother and you will not talk to me that way. If you do that one more time you will go to time-out for three minutes! Now I think you need to apologize to me." and have her say sorry and you say I accept. Give her a LITTLE hug and go back to what you were doing.
