can we push a 3 year old to use their logical thinking?

oh my God.... Poor kids... I have a three year old daughter and i taught her to use the toilet and cr whenever she needs to pee or poop. She does obey me but sometimes, she couldn't help peeing in hr panty as well especially if she is busy playing.... did the mother taught her kids to do that? I f she did not, then, it is her fault that she didnot train her daughters doing things the right way... Kids might be able to understand the importance of doing things properly but they ar just kids. We need to be patiet with them in disciplining until they will realize on their own what should be or shouldn't be done where and when....

hm honey.. dont push too much your kids... make their enjoy and dont ever punish them or give task more than their ability

ifa that mother is so stupid as she is driving her children nuts'and not making anything right by screaming. she needs to get control of her own emotions then take the little girl in to the house and reintroduce her to the potty. you train a little child to the potty with kindness and persistance. this will work but screaming and talking to the child like an adult will not get her anywhere.Usually you can start at two to potty train so by three she will be doing it in the potty most of the time.

The mother should be the one to use logical thinking. I bet she cannot even remember what she did when she was 3. Most 3 year old kids are only starting to use their brain on logical thinking. A few are advanced in their thinking, but they should be taught in a nice way if we want them to be better human beings. I would not be surprised if the girl becomes rebellious and generally ill-mannered when she grows up.

- my response to that question. but i didn't neg rate you this will indefinitely shocked and traumatize her in the years ahead. i believe she's not a good parent in my opinion. otherwise, she would have known other ways to discipline her child. it's just show how immature she is. in turn those kids will rebebl against that mom, leading to further disappointment.

Hi Ifa!. I don't really know about it because I don't have experience in parenting. I think she tell her daughters not by yelling like that, its no use any way because its only make her fear. I think he need to teach her daughter to toilet training by giving example and told her mom when he feel she had to go.

Oh, the children is very sensitive if you talk them with high voice. my two year old daughter was crying if somebody talk to her with load voice or If i am angry and i call her name. So i hug her and tell her that mommy is not angry with you. and she stops crying. When she made pee, she always remove her panty or short. I think my daughter is smart and easily understand many things. and mothers should not talk with thier child with a load voice.

It's called tough love.

Three year olds are very capable of logical thinking -- but not if they are upset because someone is screaming at them! Children need to be spoken to with respect, and you have to fit your thinking around the way they think. A better reaction would be for the mother to stay calm, and get the daughter to help her wash her clothes that she peed in. This is not a punishment, it is teaching children that there are consequences. It might not even be the girl's fault -- some kids have small bladders, and some kids get so wrapped up in what they're doing they don't notice that they have to go -- but as adults, don't we have to deal with the consquences of our actions, even if they are accidental? It teaches a good lesson, without being mad. It can be hard to hold your temper 100% of the time but a "well, we'll have to go wash your pants out in the sink, now, won't we?" rather than screaming will teach a child much better!
