I’ve posted about my defiant toddler many times before but I’m really at a loss now. She deliberately disobeys. Like, she knows what “no” means and if she’s doing something she knows she’s not supposed to I can ask “do you want to go in timeout?” And she’ll answer “no” and SOMETIMES stop.. I can’t take her anywhere cause she refuses to listen. She runs wild, screams, throws tantrums etc. At home she’s just as bad and absolutely nothing I do or say helps. Timeout doesn’t work, hand poppings don’t work, a pop on the butt doesn’t work, I’ve tried getting down to her level and calmly explaining things or trying to make sure she knows that I understand her emotions and things like that but I’m not even kidding when I say nothing works with her. I’m constantly telling her no and even though she knows she’s going to get into trouble she will do it anyways and then cream this blood curdling scream when she does get in trouble. I’ve raided Pinterest for days, write everything down, tried everything I found... idk what else to do. Everyone keeps telling me it’s “terrible twos” or “she’s just strong willed” or that it’s normal for her age and all of that might be true but there’s gotta be some kind of something that will help me teach her to listen to me and such.

Our daughters are the same age. Born the same day if I remember right. Jasey also says no. She’ll scream No to me sometimes. She runs and hides when I try to change her diaper. She kicks when I try to hold her still. She cries until I get her out of the grocery cart. She hits us when she’s mad. She’s almost 2. I promise you it’s normal for toddlers. I’ve raised 2 kids already and I’m on my third and she’s at the “terrible two” stage as well. You need to be consistent most of all. If you don’t want her saying no, let her know that every time she says it.
Jasey is a pretty good kid and easy to watch but is difficult at times to take her out somewhere. I’ve never seen a toddler not act that way. There is the rare instance a child will just sit still when you go somewhere. But... don’t stress yourself out. Stay consistent with her and she’ll learn. When you go out in public try YouTube on your phone. I don’t let my phone babysit my kid but it does wonders when you’re out and about and need enough time to finish what you need to do. There’s lots of kids shows on there. Jasey loves Cocomelon, baby shark, baby car, etc.
I believe it’s not working for you right now because this is her toddler phase and she’s learning what she’s allowed to do and not do. It takes time. And kids try your patience. That’s why consistency is important. Like mentioned above, read up on it and see what it says. I get emails about Jaseys age and what to expect. It helps!

My mom swears that she’s such a good kid when she stays with her, and any time she’s home with her daddy she minds so well but anytime I’m around she’s just totally different I guess lol the taking her out thing is the hardest because I don’t ever have a babysitter so she literally goes everywhere with me which I don’t mind until she starts showing out and acting crazy and wild 😩 how do you get the emails though? I’ve never knew about that lol

Here’s me in some scrubs. Better yet, in surgery. And I can vouch that monkeys wears scrubs several times a week.
