Hello ,
I'm a father of 2 girls
My current partner has a 5 year old whom has been brought up by mum , my partner is bringing her up super but I feel that some areas are alien to me ! , she is 5 going on 60 and has been socially brought up around older people and you can see this in her communication skills she comes across older then she is. But still has a terrible attitude to answering back and I feel she thinks she's an equal/adult.
She had started whining and making the same repeated noise that of a toddler frustrated. I have respected my partners wishes to use same tactics as she does, I had said not to make noise like a baby as your a big girl! In context this was said as in making what I presume was a descriptive comment with a positive ending.
As you can guess to me making this post that my partner got up set and shaming her was not the way. I will not lie to anyone in trying to do my best in helping a child become a wonderful person, personally I feel lost to the fact that what I understand from being brought up and bringing up my daughters to now I'm not able to teach right from wrong and not using the terms needed to teach.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
