My 3 year old will not listen, she’s starting spitting at people, hitting people, destroying anything she can, if she sees people nicely playing she has to ruin it for them and so much more. I cannot get her to listen to me, I have made a naughty step but she will do something and just go and sit on the step laughing, I’ve told her I’m a stern voice that she can’t be doing these things, I’ve taken her toys off her. I’m at my wits end and now to make things worse she’s taking hours and hours to settle at bed time😩 she just cannot sit still or have a very long attention span.
Any advice on what I can do? The health visitors won’t give me and appointment to talk to them, they send me links which I follow but doesn’t help. It’s effecting our day to day family life so much.

I thought I was the only person. My little girl is doing the EXACT same thing. I am at a loss
It gets me down, I hate getting cross and then feel guilty 😭😭😭

My 2.5 year old is spitting and the only way he has decreased this is by ignoring it. When I give him a reaction he just continues.

Yeah it bugs me as well. I really have to bite my tongue

It’s a tough age - especially with the spirited ones haha
