[quote=Anonymous]3 is a hard age. You’re doing all the right things, you just have to be consistent. Maybe there’s too much explanation and too much talking? Too many steps? I would be short “if you brush teeth, then we can watch tv” (they understand the If-then pattern earlier than if choice 1 this happens if choice 2 that happens, but only if you choose one or two quickly otherwise XYZ) Have you read “parenting with love and logic”? I read it years ago and many things apply to older kids, but the sock thing reminded me of that. The stove—well I don’t want my kids having a natural consequence of second degree burns vs a blister from no socks, so maybe you have to gate the kitchen until she’s old enough to listen? [/quote]
