Hi!
My name is Krysta. I have a problem with my 7 year old and her terrible attitude. When i ask her to do something she rolls her eyes followed by a "you're mean!" Her favorite phrase is "WHATEVER!!" I tell her she will have to go to bed early, i take privleges away, i even tried to have an adult talk with her. Nothing helps. I don't know what else to do. We fight on a daily basis. I love her to death, and i want to get along so badly. I need some advice right away. It hurts to argue with her so much.
Thanks
Firstly you are not alone. It seems to be an age for rudeness and attitude. Well for one stop arguing with her and giving her too much attention. Simply put her in time out for 10 minutes every time she does it. One warning then time out. You have to be consistent otherwise it won't work. Make sure you put her somewhere really boring with no toys, books or tv. Make sure you praise her good behaviour.
Hi I have two daughters ages 7 and 9 years. My eldest daughter has the same attitude, I am mean, Its not fair. When I tell her she is not having something for being rude and nasty, she turns round and says 'Don't Care'. She will ask me something if I say no she turns round and says that she is going to ask Daddy. She has become very aggressive towards her sister ending up with them both physically hittimg each other. I am at my wit's end and I don't know what to do.
hi there i am in the same situation too, but now not just at home school too. i have been called in today to see the teacher. how can i turn things around. my support and feelings are with it, its a troubleling time
OHMIGOSH!!!
I was about to post a message that would have been almost identical to yours. My 7 year old daughter even uses the exact same words. I feel like I've tried almost everything.
I understand what you mean by wanting to 'get along'. I have never tried to be my daughter's friend, but having one day without major conflict would sure be nice.
If you find anything that works, let me know. I'll do the same for you, if anything seems to help.
