Have you considered having him tested for adhd? Many children often can't help there over active behaviors! You should try cutting out sodas and sweets if you haven't already done so. Caffeine is a big trigger for hyperactive behavior! That could be a good start to calming your little devil down!

This is EXACTLY my situation too; 3 year olds just don't stop. First off, take the gun away and put it where he can't get it, and tell him why you took it. Give it back to him later with a warning beforehand to keep the noise down or it's going again. Do this with longer and longer intervals and eventually he'll get the point. Or you'll get so fed up the gun just disappears. : ) One thing that helps A LOT, if you're not already doing it and you can afford it, is to put him in daycare. This works wonders all around because you get a break from them, they get to play with other kids, and they wear themselves out in an environment where it's expected.

I say take the toy away from him and all toys for that matter if he is acting out that much.Also if he doesn't want to go to bed let him keep getting up and ignore him then when he sees he is not trying you anymore it wont be fun and in turn may go to sleep.However I would wake him up very early and make him stay up all day then the next night he will be good and tired and may not pull that again.I have done this with my 4 yr old and she has stopped.People may disagree with me and say he is to young but kids are smarter then we give them credit for.Good luck!

Sounds like you have a normal 3 year old boy there. They are definitely trying at times, but so worth it. If his toy gun is driving you nuts, take it away. Tell him that if he goes to bed as asked he can have it back in the morning. The key thing to remember with a child of his age is consistency. I know it's hard, it can be so frustrating, but if you can be consistent for even a few days, it's enough to start to change a child behaviour. Good Luck!

Poor thing! I hate to say it, but that is the way that 3 year olds are. If it were me, I would take the toy and tell him that it is bed time. We have a routine. We brush our teeth, we go potty and we go to bed. If we are not tired, we read 1 book. When the book is done, it is lights out. Be firm and consistent. You will get through it. I know that it doesn't feel that way now, but you will.
Good luck and try to get some rest as soon as your little blessing is asleep.

Never shout! just explain the situation!
look at your 3yr old (drop your chin to your chest and raise your eyebrows)... Then....
Keep practasing this perticular look!
Take ya time and really, really, really explain to him what he is doing is very bad and annoying aswell as wrong!
Allways ask questions that you know the answer to as well as only allowing him to explain for around 15 seconds!
Take about a 1/2 hour doing this!
Do this for the next year everytime he is really bad!
I'ts called "conditioning"
That is what my mom did to me and belive me, after a very short time one look off her would send shivers down my spine!
(Im guessing she was trained by the Gestapo or summat. lol)
Plus spend quality time teaching him your knowledge instead of you being on the computer & him watching t.v.etc.
At his age everything gets soaked up into the brain like a sponge! It's all a big learning curve for the both of you!
.x. good luck .x.

You sound like your too tired to deal with him,if thats the case have this scenario for the rest of your life.
If not deal with this problem now and in 4-5 days you will have peace in the evenings every night.
Your the boss,act like it,not with shouting,that doesnt work he's immune to it,keep putting him in bed ,come out of the room,never speak to him while doing this,if he gets up,put him back,it works and it only takes a few days,well worth it for years of peaceful nights.

stop the shouting and take some control - show him no is no, put him in his room. If he kicks the door down or destroys his room I still think a smack for real naughty behaviour is OK. How else do they learn discipline.
I know it is not easy. I'll probably get reported for child abuse - but I don't care. We were smacked occasionally, and we never played out parents up

give him a warning that if junior doesn't behave u will take it away.
be firm. if he persists, do it.
don't hesitate. u must be positive and assertive, without obviously being aggressive or overly emotional.
let him throw his tantrum and if necessary to the point of burn out.
the more emotion u show, the more likely he is to misbehave.
if u take it, u r just doing a job to discipline him.
in the long term it will benefit neither of u to be too soft.
I am usually a bit soft but the kids know their boundaries.
If u don't set boundaries ur child will lack the security
this provides.

isnt there better things to play with than toy guns. Im not a fan. Go to the park or do some baking or paint. Anything but the guns. It isnt the most sensible game. last of all take control. he will learn very soon who is boss if you stick to YOUR guns!!!!!
