Best method for dealing with a cheeky 6 year old?

[Movingforward123]

Dd is 6, she is very cleaver and usually very well behaved.

For the last few days she has been cheeky and rude to me and quite huffy.

I'm just wondering what the best method might be to deal with this behaviour. I am trying to plan fun things to do etc, but I get fed up when she is being cheeky and generally saying no to everything I say

Any tips welcome?

I said to my dd this morning that it is not my job to entertain her, she is old enough to decide what she would like to do.
10minsmalter she decided that I did have some good ideas after all.

Cheekiness:

I don't care for your tone DD! Usually results in an apology and better tone. If not...

Go to the conservatory and wait there until you can remember how to speak to me. Only been used once so far and that was 6 months ago.

No, no, no:

You don't want to do that then? That's fine darling, go and find something to do then. This was followed (once) by me taking DS to do the suggested activity while DD stayed home with DH, she hasn't tried that one again either!

Thank you both for the replies

Andro - I'm wondering if you have a very authoritve voice? Because if I said those things to dd they wouldn't make much difference

Why don't you make a list with her about how she sees her life, and what she thinks is acceptable for her to do, and what is acceptable for you to do and say.

We regularly have struggle sessions meetings like this. And they seem to work. We have a negotiated treaty, and everyone has signed up to be civil and polite as a basic. No shouting, using a polite tone, saying please and thank you etc...

It might work for you.

Oh thanks for that message I really like that idea. I am a single parent and dd seems very grown up even though she is only 6.

I think I will give it a go

Movingforward123 - yes, I have 'that' tone, it compliments 'that' look. I deal with discipline is a very calm, very controlled manner...when I'm not happy with their behaviour my dc know it. I think I'm lucky that they hate disappointing me.

I also follow through, so the time she was sent to the conservatory she was sat there for ages, missed her favourite tv program, missed skype with her grandparents in Aus and didn't get to bake (which is what we were starting to do when her behaviour deteriorated and very much enjoys).

The activity she missed through none stop no, no, no was a trip to an indoor water park type thing (slides and things) - she hated that her brother was still able to go ans she missed out.

I never re-arrange anything missed for poor behaviour, we may make a return visit to an activity but it will be a new visit iyswim.
