Return the gift. Teach her a lesson in manners and to hold her tongue. I had a present for neighborhood child who did, basically, the same as your child. I picked it up and said, "Sorry you don't like it. I,'ll return it.". She was shocked and said that she did like it. I didn't budge. Her mother agreed with me.

I would have shown her the part she would have liked, an then had a discussion about her rudeness, and then withold the gift until she can show some maturity in how she responds to people.

DCUM: having any expectations or any sort of discipline at all for your child is mean and abusive. You are a selfish, dramtic parent if you do anything but showere your child with hugs and kisses for expressing themselves.

What have you done in the past to address this?



This would be a helpful bit of information.
