[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, ages 3 - 5 were some of the BEST days with my preschooler.  I cannot imagine having a bad day with them at that age.  Want bad days?  Wait until they are teens...OMGosh![/quote]

Your memory must be blurry because almost every mom I know with a 3 year old thinks age 3 is the worst. We all say terrible twos were a breeze compared to the threes.[/quote]

What?? I loved when my kids were three!! And no fuzzy memory here because my youngest is four.

I think some 3 yos are a lot more dramatic than others.  I see 3 yos at church who seem hyper, but not super dramatic.  DD is insanely dramatic/ turns everything into a tragedy.  Dinnertime!  Nooooooo!  Bathtime!  Noooooooooo!   Time to clean up the toys!  Noooooooo!  Bedtime!  Nooooooooooooo!  Etc.[/quote]

My oldest had severe tantrums at 3.  SEVERE.  At first we tried to appease him, but that degenerated into more tantrums.  After reading some books and talking to the ped, we decided ignoring him was the best bet.   But it was so hard to hear him crying and kicking and screaming.  The books said the child would stop in a few minutes, but my son would cry for an hour straight!!!  He would be so tired that he would fall asleep right at the place where the tantrum took place.  It was nerve wracking for my  husband an I  to hear our DS and not going to him.  It worked, with consistency he realized that he was not going to get a brownie if he screamed for an hour.  So his tantrums went from an hour, to half, to a few minutes.  But it took a couple of months.  Parenting can be so stressful.[/quote]
