Whats an appropriate punishment for a 3 year old..... Her sister is napping, she was supposed to be settling down in the living room watching tv for a little. I was in the room cleaning it up. she poured milk into the pots i had out there, on the rug thats there and wasted a full thing of cleaning solution. I just bought everything thats out there (except for the rug) even the milk. Now the milk is wasted and the rug is ruined. What would you do? This is an every day thing. I literally want to cry. This isbt even as bad as it usually gets when i have my back turned..... This is what im talking about!!??? And yet ahe wants to go play outside. Go to the lark and do this and that. I was planning on taking her to the beach when her sister woke up. Now i don't even want to. I feel like thats rewarding her for bad behavior. Shes ia currently in her room with no tv because of it. Knowing her though she'll probably wake up her sister on purpose. Earlier when her sister was supposed to be napping she goes and squirts water from her sippy cup in her face. I feel like i cannot do this every day every MOMENT of the day.

A good place to start would be to not leave those things out and accessible, especially cleaning solution.

Sorry momma. This age is tough. My tot does the same she also knows how to unlock every dang child lock out there and climb everything. I tried even putting my cleaning chemicals on my back enclosed porch with a lock at the top of the door and she climbed up and unlocked it. I finally just had to switch to cleaning with all natural products.
As for discipline she does do better when she gets more attention.
Have you taught her what not to touch? By 3 she should know. Keep solutions and stuff like that out of her reach if she is behaving like this first off so she doesn't drink it or something. You need to consistently let her know what's good and bad behavior. Time outs.. pop her hand...no fun activities. Do you spend individual time with her? Maybe she should go to daycare.
I was thinking about day care for that reason. But I am very hesitant. So I haven't pushed foreward
@anicole3285 why? I think it would be good for her and her behavior

And the milk is in the fridge. She knows how to unlock the gate
@anicole3285, I would suggest storing cleaning products in a cabinet with a childproof lock since she knows how to use the chair to get to it. I’ve heard they have childproof locks for fridges.
@ekko I will look into it
Well first off, thank god she didn't drink the stuff!!
It sounds like she's trying to get your attention in any way possible. Have you been giving her any individual time?
I do sometimes at nap time. She always mixes stuff, never drinks
It sounds like attention behaviour, my almost 3 year old did the same sort of stuff. Nothing I did would make her stop I'd take toys off her, put her in time-out, tell her off but she continued to do things like that as soon as I had my back turned. I started changing the was I handled it. I started rewarding good behaviour and making a really big deal out of it and ignoring the bad behaviour. It does work for her but remember every child is different and it didn't happen over night. Also before I need to do something I will tell her "mummy just needs to do the dishes, would you like me to get you a snack or activity before I start" or " mummy needs to do the dishes would you like to sit in the kitchen and talk to me while I'm doing them"
She still acts up sometimes but a lot less.
I agree on asking if they need anything before you do whatever you have to do.
Ok, thanks
