Try reading 123 magic. It worked wonders for my daughter. The book is not very long so it won't take days to read. My daughter gets counted. If the offence is really bad it's an automatic 3 and she goes to the corner and stays there for 6 min. She's 6. One min for each year she is old.

Most important is that you stay calm. when she misbehaves, give her 1 to 2 minutes of time out in the "naughty corner". Make sure she does not leave her corner, if she tries, calmly put her back. When time is up, sit her on your lap and ask her why she thinks she had to go to the "naughty corner" - if she gets it right, confirm what she's saying and if she gets it wrong or doesn't want to say, tell her calmly what she did wrong and that this is not allowed. Don't tell her that she was "BAD" just say that she's not allowed to behave that way and if she does it again she will spend time in the naughty corner. Be consistent and don't give up and you'll be surprised.

Well the yelling and screaming part is easy. When my son was younger and wanted to yell and cry I would send him to his room and tell him to close the door. I always told him that it was his room and if he wanted to yell and scream he was welcome to do it in there as it was his space, just close the door so no one else had to listen to it. It loses it's appeal really quickly when no one pays attention. As for thew hitting, well I am not sure what to tell you there, except for how much can a three year old really be hurting a fourteen year old?

JULIE J is absolutely right, if the 3 year old is brave enough to hit the 14 year old, then so be it, but that 3 year old better be ready for some wailing. don't interfere the 3 year old will DEFINATELY get the picture!!!

Sorry, I am a midwestern mom. Around here the psycho babble doesn't get much practice. But, I know my 7 yr old daughter doesn't mess with her 14 yr old brother due to one thing PECKING ORDER. He's bigger and meaner. I don't interfere. If she is sassy and starts messing with him HE takes care of it. She doesn't try it too often but when she does, he takes care of it.

Seems like she wants to control her brother. And the household..................... anger at this age is common but keep an eye on it, if it escalates......... ask your doctor about some type of counseling, believe it or not, they can counsel a 3 year old.

She's three, so not much you can do except be consistent. Tell her , "No. We don't scream. We don't hit." Make her stay in her room until it stops. Even if it takes returning her to her room fifty times, make her do the whole time out and do it every single time, or she won't learn anything.

When my 3 year old has a tantrum I put her in the corner (timeout) and literally act like she is not there.........When she stops ranting and raving, I speak to her calmly, but not until then..........

Sounds like a typical three year old she'll grow out of it. You should just let her older brother communicate with her and be her friend!!
