At 2, kids understand that they want some things more than others, but are easily distracted.
At 3, they want them, remember and don't understand why cake all the time is bad. Just gotta work through it with patience as Schralp said. 3 is basically your friends drunk at 3 in the morning - they possess some level of reasoning and awareness, they just aren't actively using it unless reminded and have zero clue around emotional regulation. Help em out and give them tools to understand themselves.
If you've read the rock warriors way, the observer position is a good place to start.
All that said - fucking threenagers.
