Have name changed as could be outing!
Am looking for advise on how best to deal with my dd5.
She is very confident and outgoing but she think she is my equal rather than she should do as she is asked.
She is the class clown at any given opportunity and is always being very silly. There have been a few always something incidents that has made me realise I need to get her to listen now rather than leave her to her own devices. That said she has alway been told no etc and given consequences but she doesn't seem to care.
So she is a bit mean with her words with her friends and can sometimes not be very kind. We have addressed this and it seems to have worked. She is still god awful to her sibling, who to be fair gives as good back but they constantly fight.
She doesn't listen if out and about for instance she will run off, down aisles in shops, picking stuff up when told not to, she ran away from me on a walk and straight into car park without stopping, but burst into tears as soon as caught up cos she knew she was in trouble.
We've just returned from another hospital trip as she stuck something so far up her nose she narrowly escaped surgery to remove it.
It just silly stupid stuff all the time and she is disciplined exactly the same as her older sibling who isn't like this at all.
I could understand her behaviour if she wasn't told right from wrong or had no interaction with her/us but she does. We read, play games, do hair, drawings etc go out, lots of holiday etc
I am just at a point where I don't know what to do because nothing works, I've removed toys and days out and sweets and we've had naught step and reward charts for good behaviour, I've tried ignoring the silly/bad behaviour and praising the good nothing works, nothing.
I just don't know what to do now to help her understand she has to listen and do as she is asked for her own good as well as everyone else's.
She isn't like this all the time at school but does have her 'moments'.
