How

I am 24yrs old and my daughter is 3. My daughter will NOT sleep through the night and wakes up saying she’s hungry, she will not listen to me at all and just screams when I am firm with her. This is my only daughter and she is very spoiled bc of that but I feel she is to the age where she needs to start listening and sleeping through the night. What should I do? How can I make her sleep through the night? She does not focus well I think she has ADHD or ADD or both but never been tested but can not be still or focused on one thing.

You have to set rules and boundaries on a child very early in life. I did that with my son, and he was very good and obedient until he started living with other people so now, every time I have him I have to train him all over again I call it the hunger games every time I pick him up. As for the sleep, I normally don’t allow my son to take any naps people like to argue with me about that but me not letting him take naps unless he’s extremely exhausted helps get him to sleep throughout the night. If he slept in like he did when I picked him up recently, what I like to do is take into a playground, let him run up all his energy so that he’ll be exhausted> Give him a bath bath> Brush his teeth> Put on his pjs then turn off all the lights to put him to sleep. He’ll cry for a few minutes sometimes then knock right out.

Be a little strict with her put rules down that she has to follow. Don’t go 100% with being bossy, but just enough to get her to start slowly start listening to you. You just have to do baby steps. Example for the first week have her take off her shoes as soon as she comes home, have her eat at the table and put her dishes and trash away where they belong every time she’s done and get her to say help and please. By the second week have her continue to say help and please. Get her to clean her toys up when she’s done playing, before bed, and before you leave your house. This will help you to slowly get her to follow rules, and be more obedient without the tantrums

Thank y’all so much I’m going to give this a try!
