My little girl is nearly 4. Of course I love her but I've always liked being around her, she's funny, chatting and helpful among other great things.
Recently though she's changed, she doesn't listen, whines all the time, just makes noise and causes a disturbance. I'm finding it harder and harder to be around her. I'm the default parent as my partner works full time so is away from the house most of the time!
Anyway know the best way to deal with this or got an Instagram account or youtube or someone that gives advice about how to deal with this in the best way?

Your title made me laugh🤣. I hope you find something helpful🤞🏾

Mom.ma.g on Instagram shows videos of her dealing with her kids and explains why it works and helps. It's gentle parenting stuff though. I want to do the gentle parenting thing and I must say her advice/techniques do work.

We are going through a very difficult time with our toddler too he’s just not that enjoyable to be around sometimes it’s just an endless battle

My 1 year olds the same. She’s a nightmare! 🤦♀️ I asked my non mom best friend if it would be child abuse if I flew my daughter into next week (no kid is harmed at all just letting the haters know it is a joke)

3 years old is the heathen age. My son was a nightmareeee then at 4 he got better 😂

Try and correct her behavior! If she is displaying behavior that annoys you it will effect her social bonding with others because it will annoy them more! Try things like not responding to whining (I will help you get your juice when you use your big girl voice) reward her after she complies. Give her opportunities to be successful she may need more attention but also make sure she is on a schedule and fed at regular times and knows how to communicate needs but I would nip those behaviors in the butt now.

I feel like I could have written this about my 5 year old. She used to be my little best friend but now she is like the spawn of Satan. Constantly whining, tantrums worse than a toddler and just so miserable all the time. It's killing me 😂 No advice sorry just glad I'm not alone haha
