Hi, My daughter, who's just turned 11, has called me "B.tch" twice, once to my face, wherein I sent her up to her room, where she cried, I hugged her later and told her it would get hard trying to control/understand her emotions and that I loved her but no cursing at me allowed. Yesterday she mouthed the word "B.tch" as me, so I sternly told her off and also took five euro from her money and told her I would take five euro off her every time she cursed. This really upset her. Shes still not talking to me this morning. Is this too harsh and/or how do I make her understand calling me curse names is not an option. Help. Any advice appreciated.
