[quote=Anonymous]So what happens when she tantrums? Or acts out? Or is rude to you? It sounds like you live in fear of her displeasure, which is no way to parent. You tell her to do something and she tantrums? Fine. You’ll wait it out. She acts out? Fine. She just lost a related privilege. She’s rude to you? Fine. She can sit right down where you are and think about how to rephrase. As everyone else has said, you are allowing your six year old to run the show. And she is telling you with every fiber of her being that this amount of responsibility is terrifying. It sounds like you equate “being in control” with being unkind, when it’s really the kindest thing you can do for your child. [/quote]
