Any Ideas
So how do you teach a 3 year old to listen? Because I am really not succeeding in that area. I have tried rewards, time outs, and even an occasional spanking. We have been trying and trying to teach Griff not to hit. We tried time outs and now I tell him if he hits me I will hit back which seems to be helping a little but I am not such a fan of that method. I know being consistent is the key but ugh that key sure takes a long time to work.

I'd suggest that you look into your method of time-out and make sure that it is an effective way to do it. Jo from Supernanny has a great method of doing it and it was really close to the way that I did it. I will be implementing her method with Jane.
When I hear people say that they tried certain things and that they didn't work, I worry that perhaps the way that the time-out or reward/consequence system was not implemented appropriately. I am not surprised to hear that spanking doesn't work because I believe that there isn't a proper method for spanking other than just not doing it. (Heated topic, I know)
I am no means an expert with time-out, but it has worked really well in my home. If you want to call me for any help, I'm willing talk. (if you don't have my number email me or facebook and I'll send it to you)
