Alyson Schafer Advice: How To Handle Your 'Threenager'

It's a totally different world after the terrible twos.

Once you’ve succeeded in getting past the terrible twos, you might start noticing your child mimicking adult behaviour. If so, welcome to the life of dealing with a threenager.

Check out the video above for Alyson’s tips on dealing with your threenager.
