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.

Probe Substantiates Allegations Against WEF's Schwab, SZ Reports
Initial findings from an investigation into World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab's conduct at the organization he led for more than 50 years appear to support allegations that he manipulated economic reports published by the forum and submitted unjustifiably high expenses, Switzerland's SonntagsZeitung reported on Sunday. According to excerpts seen by the newspaper, law firm Homburger found that Schwab repeatedly intervened to influence country rankings in the WEF's Global Competitiveness Report for political purposes, the newspaper reported, citing excerpts it had seen. In one 2017 email to then-managing director Richard Samans, Schwab allegedly requested that the report be withheld to avoid straining his relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, due to the country's poor performance in the ranking, SonntagsZeitung said. Schwab also advised against improving the UK's place to prevent it being exploited by the supporters of Brexit, the newspaper said.
