I think it is normal at 3 they are getting more mobile and seem to cause alot more trouble and a whole lot faster. Well I am 26 and I can cause alot of trouble and really fast maybe my terrible 2's never ended. Hmmmmm I think I need to call my mom and apologize. You have changed my life with this question!!!!!! No wonder everyone was always telling me I need to grow up! lol Well atleast I wear big boy undies now!lol
My best advice is discipline you gotta show them who is boss no matter how much it hurts you to put your foot down and discipline. If not you will just raise a brat and no one wants that!

there really is no such thing as the terrible 2s if a child is disciplined and loved properly from birth! don't want to make you feel guilty or anything, but i do implore you to seek help (which you cannot get adequately in forums like these) before that child's character is set in stone (by 5 or 6 years old), then she becomes an impossible teenager, and adult

Yes definately! My two year old was like an angel all of the sudden she turned into a not so nice baby lol. Now she has passed it after a couple of months. Just use a lot of patience and keep disiplining as you have been so he knows that the same rules still apply. That way when he is done with his stage he wont be confused as to the rules.

I have 2 1/2 yr old myself and lately she seems to be out of control. I just use the methods that supernanny uses such as the naughy chair and talking in a low tone. It usually works but if I get impatient I find that I lose it and just scream at her which is not good. Every child is different and so, your child could still be in that terrible 2 stage or maybe not. Just be consistent on how you discipline him/her so he/she won't get confused.

Tons of patience, love and understanding. You helped to create this life you brought in this world. So the least you can do is be very respectful, no hollering that gets no where with any body. You should have already established guidelines since around 6 months of age. They understand more than you think. You need to consult your child's pediatrician for fair sound advice.

Everybody is gonna tell you to be patient, to love her, to blablabla... as if you haven't' already tried it... My oldest child just turn 3 yesterday, he was terrible since he turned 11 months (I even stopped going out with him because of his behavior!). I gave it a try to everything I was told, even super nanny naughty step, it worked for a couple of months. What I have being doing lately is something that I did not spected to work, but it did. Try this: when she has a tantrum, talk to her as a friend who is going through a bad time, calmly tell her that she is a good girl having a bad time, she is stressed and she needs to relax, so she has to go to sit on any place she likes until all of that anger goes away. Believe me, they can be small, but they are smarter than we realize.

I have two boys and BOTH of them went through the terrible 2's for two (2) years!
Like all children. . .it's a "phase" and it will pass!
Set consequences. . .with rewards for right choices.
Follow through.
Learn (as difficult as this is!) to be objective when "her" behavior gets out of hand.
This will soon pass. . .best wishes from someone who's been there!

my baby is turning three in october and she is alot more work than her two older brothers. i think she just has a strong personality. perhaps she's trying to make sense of whats in her world. try to get breaks from her and maybe you won't feel as stressed about dealing with her. works for me! another thing i do is giving her choices. i try to always give her two options and let her pick from them. she feels like she has some control and seems less rebellious.

She is out of control because there is no consistency in her life.
She wins you over by her behavior.
Make your yes mean yes and no mean no and if you promise her anything, keep your word.
Don't reward bad behavior. Make her "treats" special to her.
