You have your hands full mama! Do your best to remain calm,model good behavior. Their little brains aren't mature by any means,some kids are just born stubborn and obstinate. Every time they show good behavior talk about how proud of them you are,when they hit or pinch you or themselves hold them in a time out! Make sure they are getting enough sleep,and not eating any junk food,and not watching any crap television. Have you tried just putting the 3 year old back in diapers?
Your two year old is going through a normal toddler phase, throwing tantrums, ignore them. And stop lectureing your kids, it bores them because while you may think they understand they really don't, two and three year olds don't have the cognetive powers to understand an adult lecture and they don't have the rententive power to remember for five minutes let alone day to day LOL. They are children not minieature adults. You need to get to their level and in short brief statements tell them that they need to stop what they are doing or they will have to do time out. If they doesn't stop you put her into time out, kicking and screaming, taking things away as you see doesn't work. Start making them earn their privilges, television, video games, computer time, etc. When she behaves one day she gets a privilege of their choice the next day. Start reinforcing the good behavior with praise, and sometimes extra goodies.
When should I potty train her?
