[quote=Anonymous]I've had the issue with the seatbelt and/or running across the road.  I emphasize that kids in cars can be thrown out and/or be hurt if there's an accident and they aren't wearing the seatbelt.  Usually, kids this age respond better when they can see how it will impact them, not just a punishment.  When they try to run across the road without looking, I ask if they like running and playing; if a kid gets hit, they might not be able to run anymore.

I agree with nipping the backtalk in the bud.  There is no JUST to you being the babysitter or nanny.  You are there to love, care for and teach the child, a support and/or replacement for the parent during those hours.  Emphasize that sometimes the child doesn't like a friend or parent when things aren't going their way, that's the way it works, but you still like the child anyway.  You are the adult and will sometimes have a child say they don't like you or hate you, it means that you are setting boundaries and they are testing them.  It doesn't mean that they really mean it.[/quote]
