My 3yo always shouts "I don't like you" whenever she is angry or not getting what she wants. I know she doesn't mean it but it can be demoralizing at times. Does it happen to you too, and how do you deal with it?

Tell her is wrong to say that and even though she says that you still love her. Tell her you are sad when she says that. Explain to her why she couldn't get what she wants and that happens to everyone. Jia YouđŸ’Ș

Reply with, “I love you thou” or “I still love you” she was just showing tantrum just like my daughter...

Yes. It is a phrase. Just continue to hug and love her. Show your love and it will pass!

Needs to be disciplined.
