I have two daughter ages 2 and 3 1/2 my three year old is starting to get very disrespectful towards me and her younger sister. She is starting to talk back to me and doesn't listen when i tell her to do something. She just folds her arms, puckers her lips and says no. So i need to nip this in the butt immediately because her younger sister starts acting the same way.. When her sister goes to give her a hug or kiss she folds her arms, puckers her lips and walks away. Even when i go to the store and people tell them how pretty they are she gets rude with them and i will tell her to knock it off or she will be going straight to bed when we get home and she tells me she's shy that's why she is doing so. and i have tried talking with her telling her i don't like the way she is treating me. But she just say well mom you are annoying. lol So that's a dead end. I tried taking something away from her and it still doesn't work. Because she has so many other things to play with. And i cannot take them all away because my younger daughter will not have anything to play with. Oh time outs work only for about a half hour or so. I also noticed she acts so much better when her younger sister is out and it is just the two of us. Could she be jealous of her sister? I don't treat either one of them any different than the other. I just don't know what to do. Thanks in advance...
