My Threenager Nightmare

Ever since my daughter turned 3 years old, she has become such a huge pain in the butt. Always saying no, doesn't want to listen, fights us all the time. I am really hoping this is just a phase and that it will pass. But in the meantime, how do I manage the behavior? I try my best to stay calm but really I want to strangle her!

I distract as much as possible. So the moment she is cranky I go “omg, is there a Lizard in the ceiling - omg can u help me catch it?” Or I make her tantrum into a game. So I tell her she says no 1 time and then I say yes 1 time then she needs to say no 2 times and me yes 2 times. And we need to get it right till 5 - and then we can high five. She always ends up playing along and then bursting out in giggles when she says no wrongly.
