Try to use a different word, like "Nope".

and that is a 4yo testing you. be firm and stay in control. don't fly off the handle and get more upset.
if the firm no doesn't work... try a strong hold on the arm and a no closer to the face - eye level. or a swat on the butt

Too BAD...NO is the word of the day..Until he understands and stops the behavior that is causing the No's,he will hear it all the time...NO,he will hear the rest of his life.He has to learn now how to accept it......

So try "negative" Only those who lack the intelligence to parent effectively would advocate hitting a child.

And the question is?
If you're asking is this normal - than yes. And they will test you until the cows come home. Be firm - but always loving.

Does anyone ever like to hear no?
Unless maybe the question is "Do I have to work late?"
