My best advice? Leverage. Find out what really pushes their button (ie favourite toy, or when older, any technology fits this bill!) - and restrict access unless you are seeing the correct behaviour. In the same regards, make sure to notice and reward any unsolicited excellent behaviour. <br /><br />Seriously - you will get through it, and it does get better....until you hit the next hormonal growth spurt. Then you re-learn it all again, and get through that stage......<br /><br />Cate :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3088307956397190962.post-47377227549850356532010-10-10T16:25:09.448-07:002010-10-10T16:25:09.448-07:00My 4yr old daughter does exactly the same!

My kids are 5 and 7 and obstinate in different ways now. I remember when my daughter was that age I watched Nanny 911 and thought, there has to be some cut and dried method... There's not. Alas! I soon learned kids are just kids and they're frustrating and unique and perfectly lovely. <br /><br />Your daughter is adorable.Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099758957492165428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3088307956397190962.post-49687911215635846102010-10-08T18:59:29.773-07:002010-10-08T18:59:29.773-07:00I have bad news..... 4 is the new 2.

Time outs don't really work, either. For me it's reward the good behaviour and warnings that a favourite toy or privledge will be taken away. It has to be something they really value. In my son's case it's his teddy bear (sounds cruel but it's the only toy he really adores) or no TV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3088307956397190962.post-2807606751231684612010-10-07T20:16:48.945-07:002010-10-07T20:16:48.945-07:00Ha!
