Hi all - just wanted to know what the regular amount of “I don’t like X” is for a 3yo?
At the moment my daughter doesn’t like absolutely anything new or unfamiliar, but also things that I know she does or will like, and is taking a toll on me.
From food to parties to run-of-the-mill daily activities, music, tv etc - everything begins with a whinge fest of “I don’t like it”. I’ve learnt not to place any hope or expectations on anything being an enjoyable or fun experience, but would also like to know if this is a phase, is it a normal level of resistance, and when can I hope it will change? We’ve been riding this wave for around 6months.
In a similar vein, I’m constantly being hit with “I want something” but will vehemently refuse to eat any food that isn’t chocolate or cereal. Occasionally yoghurt. I’m dying from the food waste alone, and my sanity is slipping dealing with a toddler who is obviously hungry but won’t touch a slice of toast, fruit, cheese, cracker etc, while following me around all day whining “I WANT SOMETHING”.
