That's what I will be doing. Just wish insurance in Ohio wasn't so terrible to push through. @supermommy23

wow God bless you mommy I know you have to break that habit before the new baby comes even if you have too seek help from someone else with more experience @srkr1191

@marie_xo, I've been consistent for years now. It doesn't work. She just gets worse. @anisesoline @supermommy23 Done it! Doesn't work. She cries for 5 minutes cause she gets caught and then she's right back at it. I've seriously down it all and she just behaves worse every day. Even if I reward good behavior it's like she thinks right after she can misbehave again. 😪

old school remeny a little spanking and tell her why she's getting a pop never hurt anybody @srkr1191

im sorry to say.. but i would spank her and pur her on time out. some kids need spankens..a well deserved spanken is not child abuse. im not saying beat her. but give her a little tap on the butt and then time out after.

Maybe just stay consistent with the same punishment and be sure to reward her when she's doing good! I'm sorry you're going through that, just breathe and don't stress!!!

I never did either! @marie_xo I've tried every punishment in the book. Even made her sit in time out one day the entire day because she hit me in the stomach during a fit after we told her I'm pregnant. She acted this way before the baby so I know it's not attention. Nothing works.

if she thinks its funny when she's I'm trouble then you need to try different punishments!! She's only 4, put your foot down!! she thinks it's funny make her sit in time out until she realizes its not a joke. Idk we never tried my mom like that.

Until she is completely calm and is sitting down quietly like she was told too. None of it works. I've taken all of her toys, tv. She constantly just doesn't listen. Won't take naps so she turns grumpy, sneaks food which has always been an obsession of hers since she was a toddler. She stays up until 1 am fighting with me about sleeping. She'll turn right around after me saying no and do it and then when I get in her face to tell her she's been bad she covers her mouth and smiles... @shakia214

@srkr1191, the only thing i could possibly say is my niece myah does the same thing but she's 3, I guess just pick and choose which battles are worth it. I really don't know what to say I just wanted to ease your mind a little bit and let you know that our little ones while they're still growing like crazy can adapt:) so you still have a while before it will really cause alot of harm. just breathe

I'm sorry I have 2 boys and it took a couple of tricks to get them to get it together.i have a 2yr old and he is at that age when he wants to get into everything

when she calms down how much longer do you keep her punished

I wish I knew why it didn't? I stick with it every day. I'll punish her and she'll cry, calm down, then go right back to being bad. It's not a day that goes by since she was 2 that she hasn't acted this way. She smiles at me every time I punish her too which angers me more! @shakia214 @kbuggie20 That eases my mind. I wish I could keep it to an occasional incident but she does this all day every day. 😏

@srkr1191, my doctor told me that until we are 20 weeks our babies can adapt to stress:) if that makes it any easier, just don't make it an everyday thing try to calm yourself down a little bit

why doesn't punishment work? what usually happens when you punish her
