Eight year old who ignores me- HELP

[Anonymous]

I know this is very normal but it's making me nuts! 8 yr old literally ignores. Anything I say anything I ask her to do. Been going on for a while. I will repeat myself like 10 times then finally I have to call her by her name another 5 until she answers. I've talked to her about but no change. Any suggestions????? Helllllppp

What do her parents do?

Rule #1. Do not repeat yourself. The more you do it, the more she's being conditioned to ignore. It's a bad habit we have.

What kind of stuff are you asking her to do?

#1- You must speak to the parents and be on the same page.

#2- Listening is NOT an option.

#3- Let her know that you EXPECT her to listen and that if she chooses otherwise, she will have a consequence.
Example: the next time she ignores you, stand I front of her, look directly into her eyes and say in a firm tone "I expect you to listen to me the first time and I expect you to respond to me when I call your name. If you do not do this, you will lose all television privilages for the rest of the day. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Eventually she will realize that you are not a doormat and that she won't get away with this behavior with you.

Pp here: do not repeatedly call her name or ask her two do something. You are teaching her that it is ok to do this.
