In addition, Shannon was convicted of causing or allowing his death.
Footage released by North Wales Police showed officers questioning Michael and Kerry.
One clip showed Michael forcefully picking up Ethan by his arm and placing him in a car.
Questioned by an officer about how he felt watching the incident back, Michael replied: "Disgusted with myself."
Another clipped showed Michael spraying Ethan with a hose whilst the youngster played on a trampoline in a back garden.
Michael was also seen carrying Ethan off from the trampoline in a similar forceful manner "like a bag of rubbish."
An officer asked Michael: "Ethan, given his size and weight, his fragility, how do you think that felt to him receiving that treatment?"
"I don't know, he wasn't whinging or anything," replied Michael.
The officer continued: "What had Ethan done to deserve being picked up and treated in such a way?"
"Nothing," replied Michael.
"Had he been naughty?" the officer asked.
Michael responded: "No."
Kerry gave evidence recalling how Ethan's mum Shannon would "smack him".
Other clips showed Michael and Kerry being quizzed in their living room recalling the moments Ethan collapsed on August 14, 2021.
They were in the living room of their Flintshire home with Ethan when he sustained a "catastrophic" head injury, leading to his death just two days later - you can read more here.
Michael and Kerry recalled Michael saying "stopping messing about" after he was found on the floor.
Michael Ives and Kerry Ives, both of Kingsley Road, Garden City, Deeside, and their daughter, Shannon Ives, of Nant Garmon, Mold, are set to be sentenced at Mold Crown Court on Friday, October 3.

Watch: Stolen Jaguar Hits Unmarked Police Car Head On
Read the full story on The Auto Wire Most car accidents happen quickly, like this stolen Jaguar which hit an unmarked police car head-on in the UK. The crash was captured on a surveillance camera and shows that even trained officers of the law can sometimes do little or nothing when another driver behaves Jaguar was reportedly going 90 mph the wrong way on a road in Liverpool after 10 pm on December 20, 2024 when it slammed into the unassuming crossover being driven by a cop. That collision crumples the Jaguar's hood and sends the unmarked police unit rolling backwards down the road. Just seconds after the crash, a marked police car with lights going pulls up behind the Jaguar, which Liverpool ECHO says was a classic model just as the driver tries running away. He's collared by one officer while the other approaches the vehicle to take the passengers into custody. Reportedly, the Jaguar had been stolen just moments before from a retired classic car collector. The thieves smashed through one of the windows of his house, then threatened the frightened elderly man with a hammer, taking cash and the keys to his Jaguar before driving off in the vehicle. With police in hot pursuit, the suspects decided to try out the British sports car's V8, pushing it to ridiculous speeds for narrow city streets. While the driver was okay after the crash, his accomplices weren't. A teenager who was in the front passenger seat suffered an injury to his leg. The guy who was in the backseat wasn't belted in, so in the collision he was thrown into the center console. Both police officers in the unmarked car were injured as well. One suffered 'bruising and pain' which doesn't sound too bad, but the other has 'permanent scarring' on his hip. In a 90 mph head-on crash, it's lucky nobody was killed.
