I'm so glad I found your channel...I have a 4 year old son. I feel I needed to hear this message because my goodness! The struggle is real! My son has a habit of totally ignoring me when we're visited by another toddler, he would be totally in control of the other toddler about playing games or toys. The minute I would announce in a soft voice something that I would like them to do in 5 -10 minutes, it's like his turned deaf, continue to play with his toys, I can say something over and over until I found myself in a Yelling mode! Of which I hate so much. It doesn't end there, everytime I would prepare him that he will be doing something, he will tell me, No, "I don't want to do that ... always opposing when I'm making suggestions...I'm in a point of thinking where exactly are my going wrong or how should I address things to my 4 year old, because honestly I know this stage, if I don't try my hardest...I feel like I will lose my son

My four years old don't want to be corrected in school, she will throw herself on the floor and start to hit the furnitures and toys, she will also start crying as if someone has done something to her, she doesn't listen at all, so I really need help on how to handle this situation.

My issue is my son is a good kid at home but at daycare away from me and his mom he acts out with violent behavior fighting n biting etc wen he gets upset
I understand not taking things personally. Can you please explain though why a child would only behave a certain way with their mother and/or father, but not with anybody else? I would imagine it has to do with power struggle - but at the same time it is personal. That doesn't mean we should take it personally or let emotions of that nature guide us. But we can still admit it is actually very personal as it's targeted it specifically to us and no other caregivers. No? :)
Great question! When children purposely behave a certain way around certain people, yes, it's part of a power struggle and a form of manipulation. However, it's not necessarily a personal attack on you. They act that way to gain control for themselves and to control the situation. It usually isn't about getting at you for something to make you upset.
@@TeachingSelfGovernment That makes sense. I guess. Still trying to fully conceptualize it, but I get the logic of "doing something for herself" vs "doing something against me". Thanks!
Just realized how bad I am with my daughter. My daughter is 3 y and 6 m. Since day one from the hospital she's been very difficult. She started hitting us as soon as she turned 1, she then started fighting and hitting whomever she came across her age. Then I had a baby boy and she exploded. She started hitting us again, started hitting doctors and nurses. Now she talks back to us and screams at us. The baby is now 6 months and she is now starting to take away any toy he has or is playing with. I have to admit that when she would throw tantrums I would record her and send it to Dad. I just feel so bad.
It sounds like the roles in your family have been mixed up or misunderstood. Understanding and living proper roles could help this situation tremendously! I have a whole book on roles, which could be helpful for you. You can find it here: teachingselfgovernment.com/store/

Where could I find the modified rule of 3? My husband and I just started reading your book but didn’t know that the rule of 3 wouldn’t apply to my son yet (he’s 4 and his sister is 2-knew we’d definitely need to modify with her).
Great question! So, the modified Rule of Three is only used with small children when they've learned how to manipulate. I wouldn't think your 2-year-old would need it yet. The only thing that is modified in the Rule of Three is the consequences. Major maintenances that are normally a 30 min + chore for an older child would only be a 10 min chore with a younger child. SODAS would be done verbally. 24 hours loss of privileges would only be 2-4 hours. That's the only thing that's modified. Normally, the calm down spot is used until around age 7-8. Then the Rule of Three is pre-taught, then used from age 8-18. Hopefully this helps!
lol it’s a magical age alright… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… nothing makes you deal with your own shit like a kid… and I’m learning that I have SOOO much stuff to deal with. I’ve never been good with consistency… that’s my downfall.

Sorry for the late response! Yes, you have every right to take it personal. :) But it won't help! If it's something you think will help you, you should think logically and make it happen! There are lots of people in situations similar to yours. There's hope! You've got this! teachingselfgovernment.com/tsg-parenting-course/ I hope this helps!
Hi there! I haven't come across any other comments from you yet, but I'm happy to help as best as I can. If you really need to reach me, feel free to email support@teachingselfgovernment.com. We should be able to help you there.
That can be so annoying! I would teach them the skills Following Instructions and Accepting 'No' Answers And Criticism. These are two of our Four Basic Skills. If you'd like a little more information on those skills, here's a link to a video I've made about them: th-cam.com/video/-P9CYN_RqFA/w-d-xo.html Hopefully that helps!
She's addicted. This is addiction withdrawal symptoms. My son definitely did this too and I had sooooooo much mom guilt. I removed his ipad. Actually it broke and I dodnt get him another one. That was the only way I could learn as well bcz I had no way of setting a limit or boundary on it, I used to think it would be too hard. He's thriving now. Absolutely thriving. Simply remove the iPad from her daily routine. Tell her today the iPad is sleeping, it needs its rest. Or something. Or put it away somewhere your child can't find it and be like "I put it away. We can have it next week. I know you like it and want to play with it, but its not good for you. Its really bad and can make you sick." Cuz that isn't a lie. You decide your limit around the device.
I came here to learn things about my children upbringing but i ended up learning about my own🙏🏿thank you
We can't teach other people self-government if we don't learn it too. That is a great lesson!

How do we nip things on the butt if they are so young that I don’t know what consequences they will be motivated by?
And they are so young they still don't understand the meaning behind the words you speak and have an attention span of 3 seconds!

God I need help with a female 10 year old
She cries terrible her iPad goes dead. Badly
Timeout in her room by herself for a minute or two? Keep peaking in saying "okay when you're calm you can come out."
