If I am busy making dinner or cleaning or something I don't let her go outside alone. That is usually a big fit!</p> <p>She is very independent and likes to press the envelope on EVERYTHING. Even her Daycare center teachers describe her as a little leader or the "ring leader" of the classroom which is kids all her age.<br /> She doesn't like to be told no, or have any boundaries. She wants to find out why and see for herself first. She is FEARLESS and so stubborn. I really have to watch her close. </p> <p>She is going to be a leader one day that one.<br /> But I truly hope this next LO is calmer and more laid back.

I want to get my son ready for bed, he thinks it's noon and he should be playing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-what-does-your-preschooler-fight-with-you-the-most#post-2564915 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 21:59:23 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2564915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's nearly 4:<br /> -putting on clothes that aren't pajamas or shoes that aren't his favorite sneakers<br /> -cleaning up toys<br /> -not being allowed to have a "snack" aka junk food before dinner </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-what-does-your-preschooler-fight-with-you-the-most#post-2564910 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 21:53:40 +0000 FannyMae 2564910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: getting in the bath is an issue as it means she has to stop playing, and straight after is bedtime. she will fight against it and scream like a mad banshee... until she gets in the bath and then its WHOOHOOO splish splash all over the place and refuses to get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/about-what-does-your-preschooler-fight-with-you-the-most#post-2564863 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 20:28:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 2564863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: yes.
