My DD is 7 and whenever she's in trouble she smirks and sometimes starts to laugh. She's rarely remorseful, even when she's done something pretty awful. The smirking makes me angry, then I escalate (instead of just telling her off, ban her from TV for a week for example). She's done this since she was a toddler, and I'm not sure if its a nervous thing, or if she just doesn't give a damn - or both.
Does anyone else have experience of this?
