14 signs that your tot has become a ‘threenager’
Everyone references the ‘terrible twos’ but if you are living with three-year-old who acts like she’s going on 13, then you’ll know that having a ‘threenager’ in the house is much, much more testing.
Threenagers are full of sass, attitude and like to wear the pants (preferably under a tutu with a pair of gumboots) in the family.
But threenagers are also all kinds of amazing. As exasperating as her independence asserting is, it’s also rather remarkable to watch. She’s growing up.
If you recognise these traits in your little one, then chances are you’re living with a threenager.
5. She does the 'you can't catch me' bolt
Okay, all little kids do this when you try to dress them but a threenager will do it JUST because she wants to have the power. It isn’t so much about not wanting to stand still for you but her push-your-buttons tactics to slowly make you lose your mind. When you finally do catch her, chances are she will collapse on the floor and go limp making the whole task soooo much harder than it needs to be.
