Fresh boy....

Overall DS is a good boy! He turned 3 in August but is getting fresh and not listening to me will listen to DH. I have to ask him to do something multiple times, he talks back, constantly tells me no. I reprimand him not to say no he go "uh uhhh" with a
tude.
Most days he will be fine but the last week has been tough. I don't want to spend my time with him, yelling.
Is this how 3 is gonna be? Any discipline pointers? I'm thinking of making a sticker chart for good behavior.....it worked for the potty
tude.

Re: Fresh boy....
Try pointing out the behavior and telling he is being rude by doing it. The correct way is...
I will ask DD to go put her shoes on. She will reply, "you go get my shoes." So I respond, "that's not a nice way to ask for things. If you need help, you should say, Mommy, I need help getting dressed, can you bring my shoes please." Then she repeats it.
my example is kinda corney, but its the first thing I thought of
This is how I handle just about every behavior issue in our house- tantrums, sass, arguing. I would say, "I think you are telling me you would like some help. What I am hearing is 'waaah.' Try, Mommy will you please help me?" Then I would interrupt a tantrum/sass by saing "MOMMY..." and they would stop. Now all it takes is "Nope, try again." For my kids, I felt like it is a short fuse, so if I cut them off to let them know I am listening and will make sure their needs are met, they can breathe, and focus. It also gives them a graceful out from the ugly behavior, because once they commit to being defiant, they need a quick out or they will REALLY commit and then it's a battle of wills.
