what do you do with a 3 yr old boy that yells back at you?

Well, usually a small spank on the butt works really well, it doesn't have to hurt or be really hard, the idea hurts them worst than the spank, after a few times they learn.  TAking away toys and time outs work only if that means anything to the child (which to my daughter didn't mean a thing)  A little pain is a different story.\nAnd to the ones that will have a duck over what i just said, i didn't say beat the child black and blue.  Punishment and child abuse are different things.

Some people just enjoy this practice.  You might consider making an appointment for the two of you with a licensed therapist.  It's often easier to talk with a disinterested third party as a go-between.  The therapist should be able to help your son explain to you why he engages in this behavior, as well as help you understand why your son does it.\n\nI would gently suggest that you do not berate your son for this behavior.  He is probably dealing with a lot of issues within himself regarding it already and, being an adolescent certainly isn't helping him any right now.  Until you can get the 2 of you into therapy, you might want to just make it a non-issue.

Let him know of what behaviour you find annoying.  Go for a walk alone and/or take some time for just you.

You should just ignor him don't drop what your doing and isolate yourself.  Ignor him.  If you can't concentrate just leave without saying a word.  If you listen it will bother you and make you want to yell back.  If you yell back he will be even more upset and that may lead to and awful fight.  Just tune him out.  I know my dad was a mean old man and blamed everything on me even though I was his little princess.  I tune him out and go about my business.

You try not to fuel the argument. Even if he's yelling at you, keep quiet. In due time maybe he will realise what mistakes he's making, if he doesn't I guess he is not worth it.

Might try a restraining order.  Little drastic but would work.  Refuse to take calls from him and his friend.  If it is really bad parental intervention is always good.

You have to let it go alittle Ramon, otherwise it will drive you crazy.  Think of other things.  Like your cute little nephew.  take him out to a fun park or sth so he can have some fun. You could too if you wanted or leave eveything for  a while and go for a holiday.

Tell him to his face to leave you alone.  If he doesn't, then tell a teacher, counseler or you parents.

Don't worry about the lady--she's unoriginal and not creative which is why she has to copy you. Just try to separate yourself from her as much as possible while still retaining your dignity. \n\nIs your son young? If he's older of course he can handle it on his own but if he's 8 or 10 he'll have a difficult time understanding what's going on. Just try to keep him busy so he won't have time to think about it and don't let the other kid know he's bothering your son. If he thinks he's not bugging your son he'll stop...eventually.

Spend more time having conversations with him. Don't let anyone use baby talk on him and don't let him watch shows like the teletubbies

I won't tell you to slap him, because that would be wrong. ;)\n\nMaybe yelling at him as loud as you can when he's bothering you?

Explain to him that you're tired of hearing about the boy. Say, if you want to talk about him--go hang out with him and be around him. Otherwise, let's talk about something else. If not then I am leaving. Simple as that.

i know how you feel.  except mine is a 3 year old tantrum king!  spouse is deployed and we're far from home so i feel your pain...almost like being a single parent.  i enrolled him in a day program.  i feel like such a better parent when i see him.  i have a chance to miss him.  he is soooo feisty and just an all around boy he drives me nuts so having him burn his energy for 4 hours a day and then coming home...he's nice and relaxed and doesn't fight me when it's bed time.   also, you probably heard the saying.....terrible 2's, horrible 3's......lol

I was in the same situation that you are in. Mine was also 5 years of age. This child hated me. Wouldn't give me the light of day. So this is what I did. I would ignore him at first. I found out what he liked and disliked. I started to watch power rangers with him and other shows. At first he didn't like it but then he got used to me being there. I would also play cars with him. Same way with the TV show. One time I asked him if he wanted to go with me to go get some hot wheels. Now we are really close. You just got to get at the child's level. Interact with the child more. The child maybe a brat at some times but show it. Kids can see right through you. This is there way of testing you.

If he shows the bullies he doesn't care what they are saying (ignore)...they may stop and pick on someone else. A lot of the bullies keep doing it because they are getting a reaction out of your son. After a while, it won't be fun anymore because it's not bothering your son.\n\n10-15 yrs down the line, when your son is in college/job, these bullies will be working at McDonalds serving fries to your son. I'd love to see that.\n\nBullies probably won't stop until they themselves get jacked up. One other solution is to sign your son up for karate or Kung-Fu lessons :)

the best way is stand up to them.... if they hit him then he needs to take the biggest one, walk right up to him and punch him as hard as he can in the nose,,,,,,,,, they might fight but no one will mess with him after...\ni work with kids ( self defense) and there is just so long a kid can take things like that..\n\n \nif he lets it go it will only get worse...
