Question: 3 Year old son Not listening at all?
For the other parents out there...
Our son is just about to turn 3, and he is at the point where he will not listen to anything that I say to him. It is becoming very stressful just to get him to do the simplest of things. He will mostly listen to his dad, who is gone during the day with classes, and I am a stay at home mom, with online classes.
I am getting very worn out, and don't know what to do about this. I understand he is only 3, but I didn't realize it gets this bad. When I go and pick him up from preschool in teh morning, I actually get stares from the other mothers because it is a battle to even get in in the car, besides his car seat. He will scream, kick, and slap if he doesn't want to. So in return I get all the other mothers stares.
He is completely in the throwing tantrums stage, and the simplest things will set him off if he doesn't get what he wants, or when he wants it.
AAny suggestions on how to calm this down a bit? Thanks in advance.
Answer: Parents negotiate waaay too much with their kids. Too much explaining of why you have to do things your mom/dad want. In other words - way too democratic. Kids need guidance and boundaries. When your kids is acting up, do not argue or over explain.
For eg. "you need to get in the car now, because it's time to go home".
Kid says "no!".
You give them another opportunity to do as you say and if he won't, you pick him up kicking and screaming and put him in the car. No arguing or explaining! You are the parent and you are in charge.
Once he realizes that you are serious , he will definitely want to avoid the fiasco in the future.
Try not to worry about what other moms think of you. A REAL mom would never criticize or judge you because she realizes that kids are kids and they will do thing like this.
