DD is 7. She’s doing well academically, great behaviour reports from school, is confident, loves her hobbies etc etc. When she is feeling like it at home she is lovely to chat to, plays well with her siblings, does jobs round the house etc.
The problem is when she’s asked to do something that she doesn’t want to do. She just ignores me and ignores me when I ask repeatedly. I have to raise my voice to get her to listen and then she bursts into tears and says that she hadn’t heard or understood me or some other excuse.
She will never ever take no for an answer and tries bargain and bargain and then sob. This is despite me never ever giving in to her. It is exhausting.
She gets particularly emotional when tired or has eaten something sugary so we’ve put plans in place to ensure she gets enough chill out time and sleep. There are no sugary snacks during the week.
Anyone with any experience or advice?
