Getting Attention From a Three Year Old Is a Tough Experience

Punishing emotions will never, ever get your child to not have them. And she's too young to not be overwhelmed by the strength of her own emotions. The calmer you can remain in helping her navigate these emotions, and the less of the negative attention that she might be getting for it, the better off you'll be. Remember, if she can get you to bring her to her room and cause a ruckus and get negative attention, that's all the more time you're spending with her instead of your six month old.
