Consistency, simplicity, and by your good example.
When I say "No", I must mean it. If I don't want her doing something one day (say, turn the TV on or off), but allow her to do it at other times, I'm sending mixed messages.
Also, she's too young to understand complex relationships between certain actions and their consequences ("If you touch the stove, you could get burned and then we'd have to take you to the hospital"...So much simpler to say "No! Hot!")
I find my daughter infinitely imitative. I get very frustrated with something she is doing, and suddenly I realize that she's copying me! If you don't want her to scream, don't yell at her when YOU are frustrated, and calmly tell her in a firm voice, "no screaming". If you don't want her to drink soda--or clamor for it--you'd best put down that soda can and reach for water. As she gets older, if you don't want her to cuss...well, you get the idea.
It is NOT too late to alter your parenting techniques, though sometimes it can feel like it!
Best of luck to you.

This is a very personal decision that can only be made by you. However just make sure when you decide on what manners, discipline you want to start with, then be consistant every single time or your child will stop listening to you. For example if you say "you'll loose that toy if you throw it again" then make sure you take it off the child if they 'do it again'. Don't shame your child or call them names such as "cry baby", it's also advised not to call them naughty, but instead comment on the behaviour & not the child. Does that make sense???? I hope so as it's hard to explain.

When my niece (who is now 5) got (gets) inappropriately rowdy or rude, I've always said, "that's not how a LADY would act" and then demonstrated proper behavior or manners. She LOVES showing me she remembers how to act like a "lady". Little girls also love to "help" grown-ups, take care of baby dolls, and snuggle while reading books.
