How do you get your 3 year old to listen ?

I’m commenting bc i genuinely want to know too 😫 this toddler wearing us out

I had to start taking things my toddler enjoyed, her tablet , take away her too room for a little, take away cartoons/movies and if that don’t help I take away outside time

Make them think its their idea. "Do you want me to carry you to bed or do you want to hop like a bunny? Do you want a banana or apple with your breakfast? Do you want to climb in the car or do you want me to put you in?" Give them 2 options you are ok with and let them choose. They are less likely to fight something they pick. And then timers with reminders. I set an alarm for everything, first time it goes off is "5 minute warning", I snooze and when it goes off again thats time to turn off the tablet, or leave, or whatever it is. Its not fool proof but its cut down on the struggle a ton.

Same😭

“They just have to grow out of it” seems like the appropriate answer but I’m also losing my mind 😂. I’m in the middle of the not listening, huh?, and why war. She listens for the most part but when it comes to cleaning or putting something away, she thinks it’s funny. And then when she gets in trouble she also thinks it’s funny. I just started walking away and saying nevermind or I’ll just let her brother do it. THEN she wants to listen

i've been locking myself in my room lol and telling him I can't be around hi. unless he listens... he cries cuz he wants me to come back
