.3.5yo saying/doing hateful things
im assuming he will grow out of it, but currently my 3.5yo has been saying things like "marcus is a bad baby." or putting up his fists or making gun fingers when i tell him no.
do i just ignore it? i try not to over-react (i do lose it sometimes when ive asked him 50times not to do something and then he gives my the stink eye, points his "gun " at me and says "you go to your room, mama") but is there anything else i can do?
and in a similar vein, what do you do to remain patient when your kid is doing things that arent neccisarily wrong or bad but just annoying? again with my 3.6yo, he will just bob and weave his head around like stevie wonder - usually that's his "im not listening"gesture. usually i would just leave the room, but then he wont do what it is that needs to be done - like finishing his breakfast or cleaning up his mess.
