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?

Don't be discouraged, honestly think she doesn't even know what she's saying. She has limited vocabulary and doesn't know how to express herself properly so "I don't like you" is probably a go-to statement for everything. Children know no malice, just be patient with her. You could perhaps reply, "but I will always love you" when she says she doesn't like you. Counter "dislike" with love
