[quote=Anonymous]My nearly 3 yr old is very defiant. “Please don’t drop that behind the couch” or “do not poke the dog” is ignored while looking right at me no matter how many times I repeat it. I’ve used natural consequences (the toys put in the baby’s diaper genie are thrown out, for example. The toy dropped behind the couch is gone forever. Access to the dog is prohibited for the day.). But it’s fricking exhausting. We praise for every small use of impulse control and reward good listening. What else can I do? [/quote]
