surprise the both of you and say everything calmly and even toned - she may actually calm down herself so she can hear you.

alot of energy? of course! every child that age dose.probably she misses you during the day and wants extra atten. from you when she is finally with you. thats why she dosn't mind.one thing to remember isshe only throws fits because someone is watching! you think she would do that out in the woods? (hehe) so if she gets insanly difficult.tell herto stop(in a calm tone of voice) and then ignore her. leave the room.more likely then not she will forget about what she was throwing a fit about. begin singing or talking to someone and once she is calm sit her down on your lap and give her some love. tell her u love her and it hurt mommey when she is naughty and make her apologize. then get her busy doing something. children love to help. let her help you cook dinner like handing you the utensils or whatever,maby it will slow you down but it's a good thing to do together. reward her and praise her.
another thing is definitly have her run some of that energy off. let her outside to play or have her jump up and down 20 times! make a game of it see how many jumps she can do in the time you do something else.or something. at night read to her this is very calming.reading,singing,reciting poetry and cuddlign her will all show her you care and love her.
remember-fits are attn. seeking behavior,thats all.so give her the atten. she needs at other times and she won't sass back.never yell at her. it's bad example.punishments should be timeouts and a little swat once and awhile never hurt anyone either!
hope this helps

If you shout at her, you are only adding to the energy in the room, which encourages her to act the same way. You need to project the same type of behavior you want her to follow. Encourage her to use her big-girl words to tell you what she wants or what she's feeling when she throws a tantrum. Don't just dish out punishments or yell; instead explain without raising your voice what she's doing wrong. Be consistent with punishment when it's necessary. For example, don't just keep taking away toys when she keeps whining; instead have her sit on the step or on a specific chair, and set a timer for exactly one minute. This usually works to calm kids down, and one minute is definitely long enough for a three-year-old. If she's just tearing around the house without direction, give her something to do to divert her and keep her occupied. This could be whatever she likes doing and does quietly - coloring books, playing with dolls, even TV. She might also be missing her friends from nursery when she comes home, so if you think this is the case, you might arrange extra play dates with one of her friends.

calm and well-behaved it a tall order for an energetic 3 y/o. Your best bet is to take her to the park and let her burn off some of that energy.

Shouting will not work. It actually makes things worse. Try positive reinforcement b/c she is craving attention from you and she will get it whether it be negative (like shouting) or positive (like praising or playing together.)

that means that they are doing extra long naps at the nursury. Also..Never shout at your kids. Treat them with love. You shout, they mimic. You shout louder, they shout louder. Use Time outs to keep them calm.

just love on her a while, she probably misses you during the day, let her play with kitchen stuff while you cook dinner, then after give her a warm bath that should do the trick, if not swat her behind and tell her NO!

My suggestion would be to stop shouting at her. She learns by what you do. Try distracting her, playing with her, etc until she forgets that she's cranky.

my parents use to sing to me and because we lived out in the country they would give me a bunch of paper and put me in the back yard with fingure paint.
sometimes they would take me to the nearby park.i hope that these help!!!
