my 9 year old daughter Ruth refuses to do as she is told

[HeatherSprouse]

My daughter Ruth has decided to play up again today she got herself grounded and told no TV for the rest of the day

A few hours later she goes ahead and disobeys me I reminded her like 100 times but she still did not listen to me and I have been strict tried to send her to her room but again decided not to listen I tried to grab the remote of her but she is sitting on it

If you have any suggestions that may help to get Ruth to do as she is told please comment xx

You should of picked her up and put her in her bedroom the first time she disobeyed the rule. Repeating it 100 times will make her believe you are not going to do anything about it, so she can do as she pleases.

If you are finding that grounding your daughter and stopping her TV are not effective ways of eliciting good behaviour, then it's time to think of some new strategies. I recommend you read the book 'How to talk so children will listen and listen so children will talk'.

thanks guys and I would pick her up Its just that she is really heavy and I had a baby in my arms at the time I ended up unplugging the TV she them went screaming to her room

If she's anything like the Ruth I know (ahem) you'll have a job getting her to behave!
Sorry I know that wasn't helpful!

How old is she?
The book JeanBodel has recommended is excellent, I've just finished reading it.

she is nearly 10 and she is good most times bu I think I might of gave them to much sweets xx
