Dont beat yourself up over it. Im forever telling my son off and he is only 3and a half. I hate telling him off, but he has become so cheeky and telling me off all the time, I am fed up with it. I hate smacking him, I have to control that and send him to his room, because now have to stop smacking our kids, I only do that if he just pushes me too far. I do sometimes look at him crying and feel really bad, but then I dont because i look at the way he had just treated me.

Youngsters who have had a medical problem are use to lots of attention and when this ends they attempt to find attention even if it is by being scolded. In their minds you are showing them attention even if it is not good.
Try the reverse and ask her why she did what evre it is and explain to her that it upsets you. Kids can take in more that you realize and if you start saying ok you have done somethign wrong so now why dont you try and wonder why you did it and what we should do about it.
Praise is the fastest way to change bad habits.

She is a baby.... what most pediatricians will call a toddler......
Let her be a baby.... Let her grow like a three year old.....
But, keep a watchful eye.... she does not fully understand what she needs to learn as she becomes older......

well instead of "telling her off" you could help her correct her mistakes and not even say that she has done some thing wrong! like if she lost something important help her look for it instead of yelling, because at three years old instead of understanding she would probablt just break down!
