dd is quiet and shy at school and at all new places but is very loud/confident at home.
she says she is the cleverest at scool, the best swimmir, the prettiest, the nicest etc. we praise her but never tell her she is better or worse than anyone else, we dont compare her to others. ive explained its not kind to others and she should compliment her friends if anything but she just says but i am the cleverest/prettiest. dp says their parents willl think its coming from us, like we are telling her she is prettier than their child which they will think is awful.
is this normal?
she lets kids walk all over her and take off her so i told her to stand up for herself and if someone is mean say dont be mean to me in a loud voice. she now has taken this to mean, if someone scooters near her she says, oy get away from me, get out my way, quite aggressively.
at home she argues and answers back a lot. she refuses to wear trousers and will say im not wearing that, i am going out in a summer dress, she thinks she can tell me and her dad what to do, get me a drink now, i am having chocolate today and if we say no is no stop argueing, she just keeps gpoing saying yes i am.
she is pedantic, i told her to take her tops off this morning, she argued that she b
wasant wearing tops, she was wearing a top and a cardigan, i told her to stop smart mouthing and she goes on and on how can a mouth be smart.
she doesnt know when to stop.
is this the terrible fours?
