Anyone elses toddler in the threenager stage yet? 😭

My daughter isnt even 3 yet but has been so sassy and refusing to listen for a couple of months now and its so frustrating 😭😭😭 idk what to do, time outs dont work because she will just throw herself around wherever we put her and scream her head off and anytime we go anywhere she is running around like crazy almost bumping into people no listening when i tell her to stop and so now weve just resorted to me sitting in the car with her while my husband finishes shopping which sucks because going to the store is the only outings her myself and her brother get because were homebodys and i need some advice 😭🥲

Omgee YES!

Same , my son turns 3 soon as well and he’s super bossy. He wants to do everything on his own 🥴

We are deep in it 🥲 she turns 3 in two weeks and I feel like we’re just getting started

🙋🏻‍♀️

same! 😩

Yesssssss😩

This is so so so validating. I feel like I'm going insane

Ours is turning 3 in 2 weeks and omg this weekend was so tough. Wasn’t listening at all.

It's nice knowing I'm not the only one going through it 😭 i feel less alone now, good luck to us all in the coming year haha, i hear 4 is when they mellow out 🥲😅

My threenager is CRAZY. i figured out she needs to be physically tired out!!! Chase that baby around the park, or even the back yard, get her moving. They turn crazy when they are stagnant for too long. Also cutting out screens helps. Hang in there mama!!!!!! We are all in survival mode, your doing great😁😁

My daughter is sassy as he'll just like this.

I always feel like im the only person experiencing this so this is honestly just comforting.

@kaden we don't do screens for her very often, maybe like 3 times a week, only if i really need to get things done but im definitely a "let them be bored to use their imagination" mom

@Sara Im the same and it does help. Most that will be on the tv during the week is music playing from my phone and it really does help!

Give her a time and space to run around and do whatever she wants. As loud and crazy as she wants. Create a schedule with it that way she’ll know when it’s play time and when it’s time to settle down. As long as she knows she’s going to get that time of judgement free play she won’t have to force it throughout the day. This definitely works in my household
