Q:
How can I get my 3-yr. old twin boys to cooperate and follow instructions?
I am having trouble getting my 3-yr. old twin boys to follow orders, especially in the mornings. When I tell them it's time to brush their teeth or get dressed or put their shoes on or get in the car, they either ignore me or say no. I have tried 1-2-3, time out and it works most of the time (meaning after the time out, they do what they were supposed to do), but they always cry when I put them in time out and it wears on me. Also, it doesn't seem to register because I always have to get to 3 the next time. Any suggestions? I am very frustrated that everything takes 3x as long because we always have to go through this time out ritual before they do anything I need them to do.
