[quote=Anonymous]Ive found DCUM to be super helpful--except when dealing with disciplining small children.  There are a lot of nip it posters who make it sound like their children have been sassy one time or hit one time and then the parent (because YOU are the parent ;) ) nipped it.  This just can not be true.  I don't believe anyone who writes anything similar to what I just wrote.

at 3, you've got to laugh off most of it--like the "get out" statement would be turned in to "I'm going to get you!!!" and if that didn't work, then no more books for the night.

The eating. I would either ignore or redirect and I would always serve a meal to a hungry kid--no snacking!

I think with little kids (2-4) be consistent in that you mean what you say and decide on those things that you just can not allow--ie hitting and give a consequence every time. You really can be silly with your kid when they misbehave at 3.  but if they hit you or run away from you or throw things at you or throw a tantrum at the store, you have to discipline those behaviors. you have to fight the battle even though the kid is mad at you for not getting them a princess at the store.
