[quote=Anonymous]You need to specifically teach her to consider how her comments make others feel. She’s not mature enough to understand that yet, it would seem. Kids develop at different rates. I’d use examples from TV or books to talk through things like that with her. You can make up examples from your own childhood or just make them up and have her imagine each person’s point of view. If you think she completely understands and doesn’t care, then you make her apologize and have a consequence. The consequence can be that she needs to go bed earlier because she’s clearly too tired to be polite. Emphasize that older kids know how to be kind. Consider ADHD if she constantly blurts things out and has other symptoms.[/quote]
