[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop and correct.

EVERY SINGLE TIME!

D: You grab them!
Parent:
Stop. The way you’re talking to me is disrespectful. I am an adult, I give instructions ans keep you safe, you follow them to stay safe. And to avoid consequences of disobedience.

The next time say, “OK, getting them now,” and put them on.

Now. Go get your shoes. We have 3 minutes now.

Chikd: OK.

Move on like it didn’t happen don’t have an attitude or hold it over their head. But EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME you stop to correct and demonstrate the respectful response instead.

After enough time, when the discipline follows when she knows the right response but still chooses to be a brat.

Start with tv shows where there are bratty sassy kids. Let her know you’re taking it away because she doesn’t know how to watch behavior that may not be nice, without doing it and calling it out as wrong. She can work up to that privilege and you can help her.[/quote]

OP take a note....if you model the above and try to exert this much control, you’ll teach her to try and do the same to you. Maybe it works with some kids. But it sure can backfire. [/quote]

Great point. I am PP and I hear your point and agree. I shared what works really well for my child’s personality. This would not work with every child. [/quote]

This works for your child at this age. If you continue being this heavy handed, you’ll end up with a teenager who sneaks around behind your back and doesn’t like being around you as an adult. I feel as a parent you have a certain amount of relationship capital, just as in any other relationship. When they are young and literally depend on you for food and shelter they will tolerate a lot, but don’t think they won’t remember how you made them feel. I would only talk to my kids like that in extreme safety cases.[/quote]
