hi all dd nearly 7 and she is driving me insane! Her behaviour is slowly getting worse and whilst we await our app at the end of the Easter hols to discuss medication I am trying to manage her behaviour (and failing I may add!). It seems that whatever I say to her she has an answer for everything, or a cheeky comment, rude remark, snide remark, etc etc Im sure you all understand and get the drift. Even saying something simple like 'what would you like for lunch?' Gets an awful response Im at my wits end to the point where I dread talking to her. Discipling is a nightmare as she throws things back at you. For example this morning she was jumping up and down on sofa so after asking her to stop and she didnt she was made to sit on the floor. Then later on this afternoon she was rolling round on the living room floor kicking her little sister so i asked her to sit up nicely on sofa and i would get her a drink to which she of course replied ' Im not allowed on the sofa'. She had been on the sofa since incident that morning!!!! At football training last night a kid came up to her and told her that she was X's girlfriend and she shouted at him to shut his fat gob right in front of his dad! Of course his daad was the snotty type and replied that little girls should be seen and not heard and off he cycled to a barrage of abuse from dd.AAARggghhhhh im going madddd I currently do the 123 Magic behaviour technique with adder but its not always applicable when she gets lippy etc and also may I add that shes taken to sticking her finger up at me behind her back when i tell her off - she thinks if i cant see the finger then i have no proof shes doing it so cant tell her off and she has one up on me!!! (I caught her doing it in the mirror behind her!) So other than breaking the said finger how do i deal with this?!! I feel like shes going severely off the rails ad shes not even 7 yet!confiscation of toys doesn't work.

Hi Chundle. I'm sorry, I don't have much advice for you, as my DS doesn't have the necessary skills to argue with me the way you DD does, but I didn't want it to go unanswered. Hopefully the bump will help!

Thanks guys. We went out this evening to play football over the park with only a few minor incidents (couple of kids in tears ooops!) but not dds fault altogether. It's so difficult as her younger sister is the polar opposite and trying to juggle them both is exhausting we are waiting for our fair access to carers breaks assessment result to come through so hopefully we can get an enabler for one of the girls so we can spend more one on one time with each of them. it's the swearing from her that drives me nuts as we don't swear in front of her at home. Kids- they are sent to try us!
