Q:
My 3 year old girl won't listen.
Hi,
I have a 3 year old girl who is just the same. I don't know what to do anymore as I can't seem to get through to her. Everyday it's just screaming, crying for every simple thing, she cries for nothing. When you shout at her for doing something wrong she cries. She won't listen to a single thing I tell her to do, not from picking the toys up, or I tell her to help pick the toys, not even that. If I tell her you can't have that, first you need to eat or whatever the case might be she starts to cry and then she is all over the floor kicking and screaming. I just do not know what to do anymore, I have failed with her. I don't know whether it's because she is spoiled rotten or because off all the attention she gets as she is the only child at home. Sometimes I feel as if I am not good enough to be a mother. As I can't seem to make my own child listen to me and behave herself, as my husband keeps telling me that. I need advice on how to deal with her in the future. Something on what I can do to make her listen to me. Please help.
