PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE

I'm running out of them. I'm really being challenged by my 3yr old right now. I'm about to flip my lid. Aubrey is a very strong willed and smart child. Probably to smart for her own good. We are struggling with using our ears more and our mouth less. Miss Aubrey always has a better plan other than the ones that are already made. She is also having trouble listening to the word NO. I understand all kids have this trouble but geeezzzz. I've tried every way of disipline I can. I'm exhausted with trying. I've tried time out (big joke), I've tried spankings (could lead to child abuse) so my new try is taking things that mean something to her away. So last night on our way home from mommom's I was explaining to her that she would not be watching TV in her room since she didn't listen to mommom all day. What I get in response is "Well, I'll watch TV in my toyroom and sleep in there" please visualize the little weaving of her head while she says this. So already today she has lost her TV for the night because she again did not listen to mommom. So today I'm going to take her TV out of her bedroom and her toyroom and when she decides to behave herself she'll get her TV back. I'm hoping this works, wish me luck!!!
