Today she used her nap time as a way to redecorate her bedroom walls, floor, furniture and self with poop. I am pretty sure she was trying to change her own diaper which she does frequently and somehow got poop on herself and proceeded to wipe it all over the place not knowing what else to do. She has been very into doing things herself lately and will do things without asking like grabbing food out of the refrigerator, climbing bookshelves to retrieve something she wants and changing her own diaper.
I was flabbergasted to enter her room to see the huge mess which took an hour for DH and I to clean up. Not to mention, DH being post call today so not being totally with it.
Is it normal to feel like talking to your preschooler is like reasoning with a wall? Sometimes we feel like our kid is out in space. She zones out and tunes us out when we try to talk to her. I don't think she comprehended what she did was so bad or didn't want to deal with us being stern with her about not touching poop with her hands and for her to tell someone when she poops. She acts oblivious! Do your kids act this way when there are negative consequences?
I am at a loss on how to make my daughter understand when she does something wrong or when I ask her to follow directions. She always says, "Its okay". No it isn't okay when you sit on your sister's head. No it isn't okay when you throw your sandwich on the floor because you don't want it anymore! How do you reach the 3 year old mind? I feel like an inept parent!
