Also telling her what she CAN do. Instead of saying lots of negations of words try some positives and directions.

Its really hard when kids want negative attention. They will think of anything to try and make you mad so when you tell them what not to do they see it as an instruction manual I swear! I have two kids like it right now. I tell them what I want them to do and in the beginning I had to follow through with a consequence of “going to bed early”. Basically the 3 year old had to sit on his cot for a few minutes (which he hated so it worked). I now do the same with the 2 year old sister and it worked. After a few times of this plus telling them what I want them to do the behavior is completely gone!
