I have two older boys that are living proof that they do. But I am right there with you on the selling of three year olds! My son is going through a marker phase as well, and when he gets mad and gives me the evil eye it is usually followed by "GO AWAY MOMMY!". I also get to clean up cracked eggs alot because that is what he gets in the fridge for, to crack eggs. ( fridge locks dont work either.) The only things that saves my lovely little man is his amazing amount of charm, if he knows he is in trouble he will say mommy I love your hair! I just remind myself there are many stages in childhood and not all of them are this hard. Being the mommy to a three year old is a tough job, we should all get some sort of medal!

She sounds a lot like my middle daughter. Her impulsive behaviour started really showing around that age, and I hate to say it, but the violence started at 4. Maybe read up on how to deal with a spirited child, and it may help give you some techniques that could help. The food especially rang true with my daughter - if anyone was eating she had to have some too. Anyways, she is far to young to be diagnosed with anything - but the knowledge behind it could really help to deal with her behaviours!! Good luck!! I feel your pain!
