I tell her off constantly for doing it & I put her away from me. She keeps doing it and smiles and laughs and thinks it’s a game and doesn’t stop.

This podcast has helped me SO much with my kids. It was constantly negative in my house and it has done a 180° since starting her methods.

She doesn't have to be angry or sad. Shes trying to get your attention or that big reaction out of you. Are you connecting with her throughout the day? Playing in her world? Even 5-10 minutes at a time? I know i dont know your situation but seriously I would give this lady a try. Toddler age is rough and only gets harder if youre not a leader. I started her methods when my son was 3yo (now 4yo) and he was an outright terror. Our house is so calm and full of happiness now. It was rough at first but has gotten way easier. I was raised with yelling and spanking so I really had no real idea of how to parent. She gives you for free how to handle these issues with calm tactics.
