Yep. Totally normal. Three year olds are jerks. Bribery sometimes works, coaxing sometimes works. Sometimes I can tickle my daughter into a more cooperative mood.
This will be hilarious one day. Remember it! Leave the house without ‘em. They’ll catch on. Most importantly: hang in there!!
Mine just won’t wear short sleeves since Covid
Sounds like my husband... 😶
But yes, regression is really common given the current circumstances. Is he/she talking about being afraid at all? Could explain the issue with leaving the house. My 4 y/o had a fair amount of wee accidents in the beginning of lockdown, and is being extraordinarily clingy. I think this whole thing is harder on kids than we realise - they pick up on so much.
Like all other things with kids, this too shall pass. x
A thousand percent normal. Aw! And sooo cute.
My 3 yo is also a jerk. She is very defiant and the more we want her to do things the more she pushes back. It’s a power play. I have to remind my husband not to sink to her level but be a voice or authority. Trickery (redirecting) and bribery (if you want x you gotta do y) works. And then extreme positive reinforcement when they do behave. Otherwise we are doing 1-2-3 method and sending to quiet time or taking things away related to the incident. She’s getting better but still a terror
My 4 year old hates leaving the house too! It’s mostly a power play with an extra dose of covid confusion on top of it. We terry to set expectations and clearly set out “what’s happening next” when we plan to leave the house/return. Really helps set expectations for him so he feels a little more comfortable.
