hey sangita, how are things now? any improvement? do let us know! tc and stay in touch....

Thanx so much Neha and Asha. Ur words mean a lot to me. I think I also need to be more patient as I am losing my cool a lot with her these days. Especially when nothing seems to be working!

Hey Sangeeta. I also have a 3 year old at home and trust me it does get difficult at times. I also do lose my cool with her but feel guilty afterwards. Lately I have started rewarding her in good behaviour instead of punishing on bad. I think it is working but still there are times that she won’t listen. I ignore her then. I believe this is also a phase and will soon pass. Hold your cool dear. We are in this together!!:)

Hey Asha, I have bought her scribble pads. But she chooses to ignore them. I do take her to play parks though not daily as my job demands are high as I work from home. But I try and spend as much time with her as possible. But yes I do spend a lot of time on mobile also as my work requires me to. Is punishing like if u don't behave u won't get to go to garden or Ur fav thing correct? I do that at times. But it dosent make any difference..

hi sangita - welcome to terrorist two's! so this behaviour is common - pls don't fret. it's their way of seeking attention. you can try and tackle it in various ways - you can hide all her sketch pens, you can get her a doodle pro or chalk board to scribble on, you can get her a blow up doll she can bash and hit when she is angry, you can cover her walls with a white plastic sheet so she can scribble there. if it's ur own house, you can even paint one side with blackboard paint for her to draw to her heart's content. if she is behaving in school and doing this on purpose at home - it's to irritate you and get ur attention. act differently then she predicts. give her a funny face on her hand when she writes something wrong. and give her stars when she writes something correct. try to be creative in your approach (i know it's exhausting). what really does help is to visit the park everyday and do some physical activity so that she is too tired to misbehave :) plan playdates with her friends regularly. kids will behave infront of others. tc and do update us on this. if nothing works you can speak to her teacher who will tell her a story of a child who used to spoil the walls etc in class. also pls look for pepper books - there are many good manner lessons in it. try doing an activity together that she loves. my gut feel says she will enjoy that "we time" with u :)
