Why The Three Year Old Child Is Stubborn To Wear Clothes And Eat Foods?

How do you modify the behavior of a 3yr. old who is stubborn? She refuses to wear clothes other than p.j. s, with few exceptions. Doesn t want to wear a winter coat (we are in the Northeast). East limited foods. Won t try new ones. Also, nap time is a battle.

Pediatrician 's  Response
With love and understanding, one can change one's offspring. However, there is no guarantee! I would recommend common-sense parenting and avoid issues that aggravate her bad behaviour.

That does not mean that you agree with all that she does or asks. You have to discipline her by a) rewarding her good behaviour and b) rejecting her bad behaviour by ignoring her and depriving her of your love.
