[quote=Anonymous]I would suggest starting with some "time in" where she gets a period of time each day where she sets the agenda, you have no distractions, and you really focus on positive stuff-even if it's just watching tv together. How to Talk so Kids will Listen or any of the other positive parenting books could also be helpful in recognizing your problem spots and developing strategies.

I had similar issues at the beginning of the pandemic. I didn't realize how negative I was being and unlike the pp, when I really cracked down on rude behavior everything would escalate to WWIII. Going out of my way to be positive (I'll write a nice note and slip in under my daughter's door, give her time everyday when she gets to pick the agenda, be appreciative of good behavior and attitude) and have appropriate but not harsh consequences for rudeness or bad behavior. My kid has gone from hiding in her room and coming out occasionally to have a tantrum to being a pretty decent human being.[/quote]
