What can I do about my daughters behavior?

Went through it, won’t again. Within a week, my 4 year old was a totally different kiddo. I allow no electronics now, and definitely don’t allow YouTube kids.

Some of those shows are just other people’s kids and household dynamics that u disagree with. Language and all. I was actually pretty shocked to hear what I heard.

No more YouTube kids.

If she is acting like this maybe you should NOT ALLOW HER to watch videos

Do you really need to ask what the problem is? Stop raising tablet/tv children… do something productive with them, I got my daughter into painting and it’s so relaxing for her.

You answered your own question really. Take YouTube away. Screen time only if behaviour is improved and you monitor what they watch. I would only do Netflix or Disney plus.

Literally dealt with the exact same thing and now we don’t allow a tablet at all. Just tv time and it has to be on Netflix kids or Disney. We only allow tablets for travel and it’s usually just for games like Tom the cat or pbs kids. Given, my daughter was in kindergarten when it started and got PLENTY of screen time at school so I didn’t feel too guilty about getting rid of the screen at home😅

Take away youtube kids. She’s 3 she doesn’t need it, at all. My mom got my daughter a kids tablet when she was like 2 and started behaving badly. Now my kids only get so much screen time because for one they don’t need it and for two it’s literally harming their brains. Play woth your child. Make her use her imagination

Be a parent and take away the utube lol you yourself claimed it coz she is watching these videos yet you continue to let her watch them. Are you using it as a babysitter? Play with your child and interact. Harsh maybe but she is 3 yrs old

If she’s acting up because the videos ,stop letting her watch the videos… duh

Stop giving access to YouTube kids. Like I’m starting to wonder how these kids are gonna survive at this point since apparently no one can parent anymore…and are having to ask stupid questions now

Paramount+ has a deal right now going and they have a bunch of kids shows and none of that crap on YouTube. We use YouTube for Miss Rachel and sometimes Blippi or Peppa

My son also became unbearable right before turning 3 so we did a cold turkey detox and just deleted kids YT off.all devices

search kids streaming apps
Block whatever the show is that she copying and know, she’s a typical toddler. spend bonding time and through play example and show her the correct way to politely ask for something. make it fun, you could play food games with foods

TAKE AWAY HER ELECTRONICS, PUT AWAY YOUR OWN AND INTERACT WITH YOUR KID. Stop letting devices raise your children.

If you can’t parent when they are two and three there’s not much hope for your kid

Why are you letting your baby watch that stuff? :expressionless:

Delete YouTube kids and block it on whatever device she watches on. My kids have access to pbs kids and Disney plus and games we downloaded for them. They also can’t download anything without parent permission (set up the device this way). You need to control what she has access to at home.

I dont allow my 8yr old son to watch you tube anymore. He was becoming obnoxious and annoying and bad language. It was like he was trying to mimic the people in the videos. You tube is forbidden and he’s back to a normal kid again. It was a hard stop, I didn’t care how much he cried about it. He got over it. Never again will i allow him to watch it.

Take away the screen. Period.
She is THREE.
engage with her, play, interact, teach… stop relying on YouTube to “teach” your child.
My 3 year old and my 2 year old get ZERO screen time, even at daycare. They have excelled soooo much since preventing them from accessing anything like YouTube (with their older siblings).

It’s a hard transition, but it’s better for the child in the long run!

I have completely taken YouTube away from all of my kids ages 4 7 and 8 all they wanna do is watch baby doll videos or Minecraft and it literally makes them like zombies they get so sucked into to it’s awful

Little baby bum on Netflix get rid of YouTube. No access at all no matter how much she throws a fit. Little Baby Bum is 100 times less annoying then cocomelon too

Take u-tube kids away !! and replace it with something else !! shes 3 ur the parent, so you tell her what she can and can’t watch !!!

I bet she watches this one channel. A is for adely…she’s the worst and acts so bad…my daughter does the same exact wahh wahh wahh and we made her stop watching her

How about stop letting her use electronics and not allowing her to use YouTube kids? You’re the parent so just take the device away seriously

So think ur kid us annoying ? ? Shame on u as a parent …& plus she’s 3 its normal it’ll pass some kid’s skip the terrible 2s &bit happens when their 3 tjats what happened with my daughter

Well ur da mama turn tv off no utube!! Think that bad 4 kids under 12…

Stop allowing her to watch these shitty videos??? If you can identify what the issue is, eliminate it.

My daughter too. I thought I was crazy for thinking it was YouTube… then I was putting laundry away in her room one day and a parent on the video she was watching kept saying what the hell in almost every sentence… like really? Then later that day she called me a loser that was the last straw. She’s 4… I took the tv out of her room and we only watch Disney plus or Netflix movies. Blippi or she likes watching the animal shows on YouTube like dogs and then there’s a monkey that has an apartment or something lol it’s cute. We’ve also been using the app reading.com she really enjoys that

If you don’t just remove YouTube. Shit ain’t all for kids and your lazy af if you don’t take the time to monitor or remove the videos. Kids are easily influenced and your on FACEBOOK complaining like medical professionals don’t exist. The problem is you and your parenting let’s be real. :thinking:

It’s YouTube. My daughter is turning 5 in January and does the same thing

Take away the electronics. I promise it will change.

Take away YouTube completely. they are mimicking what they see and generally the kids in the videos are materialistic, bratty and rude to other kids and adults. after taking it away from my daughter we also realized how goofy it is to allow her to sit there and watch those family vloggers pretend their lives are perfect :roll_eyes::sweat_smile: it’s unrealistic. If you are trying to get something done and need a quick distraction, just try turning on paw patrol or an appropriate cartoon for a 3 year old lol

Uh just take the videos away in general. Kids don’t need a screen in their face they need real toys and to go outside and play in the dirt. If you feel you can’t just take it away maybe have her watch bluey or paw patrol

YouTube kids is awful. Don’t let your kids watch it. If you’re able to, you need to limit as much screen time as possible.
The first week is the hardest. After that, they’ll get better.

I made the mistake of letting my child watch Masha and the bear and noticed a change in her behavior so now I just took the whole tablet away bc no lol these shows really affect our kids, she plays with her learning toys and elsa of course bc she’s obsessed and then if we’re out and I need to run errands I’ll let her watch Rachel occasionally

YouTube’s gotta go!!! I DESPISE YouTube even YouTube kids it’s no good for them download her some educational videos instead

I’ve always allowed my kids to freely watch TV on there own terms. I have 2 points tho. Number 1 YouTube kids is not kid friendly always. There is shows that people knock off of like peppa pig for example and it has behaviors like your explaining. Also kids confuse emotions with hunger. When my kids are tired they often say they are hungry. Number 2. Play. Activities. You. Make sure she has plenty of play time. She is learning and soaking up so much that she needs alot of interactive play right now. My daughter would rather play with bandages than watch a TV show. She will play with stickers. This keeps her busy for hours on end and helps with dexterity. You. You have to play with her. These behaviors are attention seeking. Snuggle her. Read a book. Just writing this my daughter us seeking my attention to hold her hand and find get bandages lol. Now I’m acting like a no it all Karen but I’m learning too. But I’ve had 2 boys prior so my girl is an easy day in paradise in comparison to my crazy boys. I know it’s hard to hear her cry like that and it may even be irritating. If you don’t think there’s an issue or a real cry I would feed into it. The only way to make it stop is to play the game. Say asaaw baby what happened are you hurt. Let’s play dr. Awwww baby your hungry let’s play food and make mama something. If it’s YouTube kids she’s learning from she’s expecting YouTube kids. It’s hard as a parent bc that’s not our reality. We don’t have toys on end or can afford a magic unicorn that is puking skittles. My opinion is she wants to play like they do and that’s free you just gotta get creative and be open to it. Hope things get better mama.

Not a toddler but my daughter did this around 10. She was watching videos of teens or adults playing with dolls & doing different voices. She’d copy the voices, a lot of whining. I cut her off. No YouTube for months. Her brother was still allowed to have it. That made her mad. He didn’t copy what he saw/heard so there was no reason to take it from him. She eventually stopped the behavior & YouTube was unblocked on the condition she wouldn’t watch those annoying, creepy videos again or start baby talking, whining again. The consequence if she went back to her old behavior would’ve been to get the whole phone taken away. She stopped.

Try taking the device away and actually sit down and read a book. Stop letting devices raise your children.

Pbs kids has a free streaming app
