[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here and thank you so much for the helpful suggestions. The thing I struggle with the most is what to say in response in the moment, and it was helpful to get some perspectives. [/quote] Focus less on what you don't want your kid to do, and more on what you would like her to do. In this case, how would you like her to express "negative" things? Give her the words you would like her to use. For me, the "bratty" behavior people are taking the wrong tack. If you focus on how much of a brat your kid is, you're not only focusing on the negative, but that attitude is going to shape all of your interactions with your kid. I prefer to focus on the "what does my child need to learn" side of it. In this case, she needs to learn how to politely express herself. [/quote]
