Has anyone else had this problem...

My daughter is nearly three now and my other daughter is 1 soon but I've notice a strange but worrying since in my three year old which I wouldn't of though would happen.
I left my bf because he had no intention of taking care of his kids or me for that matter and Freya the oldest tried so hard to get his attention so hard shed shout at me and other thing and leaving him though slowly but surely she'd stop that but she is getting worse....
I thought that the baby would learn and follow her big sis, she did for a little while but now Freya is copying her little sister more and more everyday. I know at her age she will test and push boundaries but if she does something wrong and doesn't listen I tell her she is wrong and she has timeout but sometimes she screams so loud the neighbors might be thinking I'm hitting her but I don't.

Anyone else had this that the older one starts going backwards.....

She's 3.
She wants attention so she's doing what the 1 year old does for the attention.

@SW-User yeah I thought as much. I give them both the same attention. I do more with the eldest if anything

@MiraRoss She's had a huge upheaval, and she's still learning. Maybe instead of time outs, play with her. Even now, when my kid has had a hard day she wants someone to play with.

@SW-User I play with her all time doing different thing but I need time for myself it's not just her.if I did that all time she just be too attached to me.shes too attached as it is being with me 24/7

If a kids is naughty or don't lisern you don't play with them, gives them more reason to do it more

@MiraRoss I hear ya. Sometimes distraction works with mine.

@SW-User yeah that's what I've been doing but she'll have to learn to do things for herself as otherwise she'll have problems when she goes school
SW-User
@MiraRoss I dunno. You're doing great. It cant be easy. Just know she grow out of it.
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@SW-User thank you so much. That's what I wanted to know if it's something kids do and grow out of it or if it was something more.
SW-User
@MiraRoss She sounds pretty smart 😌
MiraRoss · 31-35, F
@SW-User she is smart for her age she learns fast but so is my other daughter she's so independent it's unreal that's why I put this on her as the younger one seems more independent but that may change as she gets older
