Ultimately, she either picks it up, or we pick it up with her. Either way, she picks it up, we remain calm and in control, she knows who is in charge and why she must do what we tell her. | |

At some point, you do need to set consequences of not doing what you say... | |

Children who never do those things do exist and I know one, but they are by far the exception, so I'm afraid your approach cannot be recommended in general. | |
