You are in control. If your daughter decides to do what she wants then let her do what's in the bounderies you have made. She will do what you let her. Your the parent not your daughter. I'm pretty sure its a phase that all kids go through. If you are up to it, punishment is one way to get across to your kids. Not hitting them but "time out or the corner". If that doesn't work. Bend down to her level and explain what it is she is doing wrong and why your not letting her do it and why she has to be seated for a while until she can listen to you. She will start having a crying attack but you can't give into it because then your gonna be right back at square one. It might sound harsh but if you baby her too much she walk all over you. Good Luck.

Are you saying that you want to hurt your child just because
she is strong willed? Why give in to her? If you tell her to
do something that is not beyond her capabilities and she refuses
then put her in a time out for 1 minute for every age of the child.
In this case 3 minutes. This will give you a chance to calm down,
give your little one a chance to thinks things over and teach her
to mind. She is so little, a baby yet. three year olds just love to test
the water. Just tell her you are sad because she won't be good.
She'll straighten up...until the next time.lol She'll outgrow this stage until she becomes a teen....then look out!

hehehe.... this brings back memories of the torment my folks had to endure with me. I rarely got off with my mischiefs. Back then parenting was veeerryyy different. Butt whoopings were the order of the day. This obviously is not acceptable now but the principle is still very good.
YOU're the captain of the ship and she better do as you say "or else". Reward and punishment. She messes with you, and you prevent her from doing or enjoying things she likes. If this means she'll throw tantrums, so be it. But until she learns to obey your wishes, she is 'punished'.
But please go easy on the loosing control thing. Its easy do go over the line.
Good luck

You must correct her. If you do not make her mind now you are going to have problems later on down the line. Yes you need to control yourself...you also need to be firm, fair and friendly. If you need to go get some help from a child psychologist.
