I feel like such a failure as a mom sometimes...I spend all day imploring my 3 yo to act nicely...not to yell, to share, to be kind and I feel liek I am losing the battle [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

How are you handling now? i.e. what does "implore" mean? A 3 yo can't understand vague terms like "be nice" - do you get more specific with him? [ Reply | More ]

nah...3 was much tougher than 2. By the time #4 came along everything was so chaotic it almost made no difference :) [ Reply | More ]

OR - don't let it upset you. That's key. Show him how much you love him in the moment, then give him alternatives. My 3 yo has TWO 1 yo sisters, and I feel for you - it can be very trying. [ Reply | More ]

He's generally great, but when he's tired or we haven't connected in a while, I expect some trouble - mostly grabbing, occasionally pushing. [ Reply | More ]
