It can get tiring and the way you react to it has a direct effect on the situation.
Here is the way I handle it:
1. Some days I am in such a good mood that it strikes me as funny and I can't help but laugh.
2. Other days I have no tolerance for it and her behavior gets things taken away which I know a lot of people think they are too young at this age but it really works, as long as you stick with it. But as far as sending them to their room ... I really think they are too young to get that method. Do you try timeouts? Sending them to the room is a form of timeout but maybe a spot on the floor away from the tv and toys where it won't be fun. You want them to view it as a punishment.
3. Other times I have a calmness about myself and sweetly remind her how to ask for things. "Is that how we ask for things?" She quickly changes her tune and does it right ... I have noticed that this method does not work that well without the building block of the above one. But both used together has broken a lot of DD habit on this one.
But hang in there... this too will pass... and if not she will be an interesting teenager won't she?
