Could I have a private post please,
I really need help I am single mum that feels like i am at war with my 3year old daughter! She will cry scream and yell and even refuse to drink her bottle. Despite my calming her it’s really starting to stress me out. Ive tired everything. From leaving her in bed on her own to sleep, reading singing. Im am out of ideas What can i do differently?

Your Not on your own, i have a 3 year old almost 4 and she is so stong minded that she will shout bang started throwing things in temper. I give her time out doesn’t help makes it worse as she just screams even worse. Im out of options.
Get a bed time routine set. Cosy bath, massage, pjs, snack/warm drink if she wants it, teeth, story bed. Be consistent with it. Also as you’ve not mentioned any diagnosed issues, maybe sit with her and plan the bedtime routine so she feels she has a say.. sticker charts work for some but not for others.. worth a shot.
what are you at war with het over?
Oh I remember the threenager I thought I’d had it easy with the twos and wham!
She’s 3! Need I say more 🤣 they don’t listen, they don’t take orders, they boss you about
She doesn’t need a bottle that age hun and if she’s refusing it, I’d definitely take it away have u tried other things to help settle her bedtime massage , storey make sure lights a down low x
