I am guessing you are the non-custodial parent. Three is very young and he sounds insecure; he might be nervous about spending time away from whomever he generally lives with. You need to try very hard to spend lots of time with him. Play and do things together. At the same time do not shower him with gifts and do not let him get by with naughty behavior thinking you will buy his love - this won't work, although I know it is tempting. When you are with him, tell him you like him. Ask the person he lives with if there is anything that would help the situation.

Why is he not with you? This is most likely the problem he is angry about something that is going on in his life. Normally a 3 year old should not have an attitude if he was 10 this would be more normal.

Well, who are you? His mom? Aunt? Friend? I don't know any 3 year olds who like to talk on the phone. They like to play and personal interaction. My son's father had trouble relating to his son, and I had to liken the 3 year old to the "hardest client you've ever had to sell." Find out what 3 year olds like (I'm guessing here, but Dr. Suess books, Blue's Clues, Lego's, etc.) and take time to get down on his/her level. It's not an attitude. It's his attention span. They're selfish little creatures at that age, but boy can a 3 year old make life FUN!

You haven't given enough information. Why would your son not want to see you? Does he live somewhere else? If so, maybe he doesn't feel comfortable with you. If you don't spend time with your child, he is going to see you as a stranger, and not want to be with you. Maybe he is afraid of leaving the person he lives with. Maybe he would feel more comfortable around you, if he could bring his mom/dad/grandparent with him.

a loving parent makes a loving child, give him his space and respect and you'll get it in return, then of course, no is a good word to keep in the vocabulary
