Struggling with behaviour

Please tell me I am not alone with struggling with 3year old behaviour. It is actually making me feel like a really bad mum as I end up shouting, and we both start crying I will say that we are have lost her nan in the last few weeks and we've tried to explain that, I think she realises she's missing and trying to process that as well But she is constantly ignores me, laughs if I try and discipline, tantrums, screams which I also know is standard behaviour. It's not in the house too, she'll misbehave whilst we are out She'll also say "you're making me mad, making me angry I don't like you any more" which is what hurts me the most I always apologise for shouting and explain it's because I'm frustrated or angry that she didn't listen. Just don't know how to deal with it

Sorry for your loss ❤️ I was hoping it was a phase cos mine is being the same. This past week he's been at his worse to the point I cried. Apparently it was the first time I've cried in front of him which made him cry more so felt like were in a loop! I cant even pin point a trigger. I supposed with your recent loss it cud be a trigger cos they struggle to understand their feels so she cud be acting out. I've had to go back to the 123 count and time-out chair. We do always talk about it after tho.

I've tried the 123 and it used to work but now she just carries on the counting 😭

As annoying as that is for u, it sounds really cute, but I know if mine did that it wud really peev me off too. We've just had 2 meltdowns just for bedtime. Now it's peace and quiet cos he's asleep. He just seems to be acting like how he is when he's poorly or tired but he isn't. I wondered if it was cos we found out that he's getting 2nd choice for schools but he seems fine when I talk to him. We're now wondering if it's a nother development thing but brain related rather than growth. Just cos he seems to be thinking thru things more this past week and trying to learn things himself. He seems so frustrated and angry all the time. Try the timeout chair. It gives them time to calm down and then you talk it thru with them after and finish off with hugs.

Yep! Really struggling over here too. She’s having so many meltdowns/keeps telling me I’m naughty when I say no to things she wants. I thought it was because she has a new baby brother but I think it must be an age thing! Hope it passes for us soon. X
