Three year old

Anyone else’s three year old just overnight turn into a nightmare? Her behavior has shifted drastically and I’m a single mom and about to have my second. I feel like I’m going to pull my hair out. Any advice would be amazing.

YES!! I have no advice just here to tell you that you’re not alone.

Yes and you aren’t alone! I have a 3 yo son. Describe the shift — is it at a particular time? I know mine acts like another child briefly decompressing after visits with his dad.

I notice the same thing Tara described and it takes AWHILE to get him back into a routine.

@Tara I notice is when she is around other people that even give her a glimpse of attention and lately she’s been acting out when she’s confused why her dads not around which he never sees her and hasn’t for months so it gets frustrating. She listens when it’s just her and I, but then when other people are around, it’s as if she’s “showing off” or something. I don’t know, but I’m so glad I’m not alone! It’s a crazy stage..

Mine

Same girl same. Mine acts out of nowhere it drives me insaane I get out of character sometimes but I compose myself quickly it is very hard doing it alone with three.

Patience….. it gets better

Threenager 🤣

lol yes our toddlers are wild at the moment #threenager bt I also think it could be cuz u mentioned that ur expecting again. Some ppl get very anxious or act up when they sense major life changes abt to happen and kids are no exception. I think ur daughter knows there is abt to be a new baby in town, so sometimes they revert back or act out just to get some extra attention from u. It will pass. Just be patient mama X

Yes, mine has a major attitude lately. The holidays definitely didn’t help because he wasn’t in his regular routine. He’s improved since we’ve resumed his routine and have been really sticking hard to boundaries.

Do 3 year olds need a routine?

@Ahliakhan92 yes
