hun i'm not wise or knowledgeable but i think it has a LOT to do with their age.
DD1 is starting to push the boundaries more, telling me NO MUM or snatching things and getting very frustrated at things.
For me i think it is the fact that she seems to 'grown up' for her age that i guess i expect a little more from her than i should, YES she understands when i tell her things but then i think she really is still a little girl who is MEANT to test the waters and find the boundaries.
I don't have any advice hun, i think your doing a wonderful job and it all comes with time.
Sounds like the age to me. And I don't think taking things away from them is a bad way to parent, they have to learn that their actions come with consequences, and there isn't much that means much to them these days.. LOL
I don't usually take tv away or anything, or use that as a reward though - I'm more of a "reward with a cuddle" or nice drink or something like that - and punish with being sent to the corner. Usually just the threat of being sent to the corner is enough to stop the bad behaviour.
DD1 is very rough at the moment though, and very disobedient - so its definitely the age
