[quote=Anonymous]You're begging and debating too much with her. Don't ask her to do anything at this age. Just tell her. Also don't explain so much. Just say "no we can't do that right now, we can do that tomorrow". And be consistent. Every time you give in to something you said no to first she will cry about it twice as long next time. We're going to brush our teeth now, lets go. If she refuses, you tell her "You can walk or I can carry you, you get to pick" (calm voice). If she still refuses you then pick her up and bring her to the bathroom and brush her teeth. And I'm sorry but I would absolutely not expect a 3y to pick up her toys on her own. I'd expect her to chip in with a toy or two when I'm tidying up. [/quote]
