Why does my child find it funny when I tell her no. I could tell her over and over and even swat her…

I wouldn't put her in her crib because then she'll see that has a bad place and you could have problems with her going to sleep. My daughter did the exact same thing it was very frustrating. You need to get a time out chair or just pick a corner away from anything she can play with and start putting her there. When my daughter would listen to me saying no then I would pick her up not say anything and put her in time out. She'll get up multiple times. You just keep putting her back. I would usually do a minute. Cause that's about as long as she can sit still lol. But if she was really throwing a tantrum I would tell her she couldn't get up until she calmed down. Eventually she got it and it's still the way I discipline her. She's going to be 3 next month but we started this when she was about 1 or 1 and half.

The sad part is, she's only 8 months but she's got the attitude of a teenager lmao it may sound like exaggeration but I'm so serious, it's kinda hard to keep her in "time out", that's why the play pen is the only thing that works right now. @cheyenne.frazier,

Yeah that is hard I totally understand that though! Kenzie's always been way to mature for her age lol. Hang in there momma! It gets better! When you really get stressed remember it's okay to walk away and just take minute to yourself. We love our children to death but sometimes we need to lock ourselves in the bathroom to eat a candy bar and destress. I know this sounds cliche lol but have you ever tried oils? Not saying they'd necessarily make her act better but I know lavender and some other ones do make a difference in how crazy Kenzie acts sometimes. She tends be more calm which in turn helps her listen a little more whether I roll it on her or diffuse it in a diffusers
