Hi ladies it's been a long time. I have a question so my 7 year old thinks it's ok to whine and pout and throws a fit to technically to get her way we've all tried to spank her and talk to her and along ground her but it just seems go her like it never stops shes ok in school but once she gets home it's like she turns into a bratty spoiled rotten kid. So now I'm lost and confused on what to do.
Make her butt a naughty step and when she starts up make her get on it even when y’all go out somewhere everytime she gets up start her time over or take all her stuff away make her earn it back along with tv time or tablets/games she will think twice after that lol
Instead of resorting to punishments right away, talk to your child. You're lost because you ran out of punishments.
Talk first, get to the issue instead of raising your hand.
I have and she keeps giving me the answer IDK and I'm trying to talk to her but I keep getting idk.
have you tried sitting her down and talking to her about what she’s feeling, why she’s acting that way? if you can have this conversation you could potentially help her find other, more healthy, coping mechanisms. she might be struggling with kids at school, her class work, or her teacher, or something else along those lines. i wouldn’t be so quick to chalk it up to being spoiled and bratty. remember that kids have the same emotions we do but not the experience we have to know how to express them and you have to teach her how to reflect, cope and appropriately express her feelings rather than hitting her, punishing her and making her feel invalid.
I have we all have. But its when she wants a piece of candy or a toy and we've all told her that we only have the money for food and told her that she cant and she would throw a fit over it and non stop big us about it when we told her no and we would ask her why do you throw a fit over something we told her that she couldnt have and she tells us idk. Yea we do talk to her about school and what's bothering her in school and then we talk about it on how to fix it and she should do. When she wants something I try to see if she would try something with it and she would throw a fit about it and I would tell her in a firm voice ok hear you got it an now please stop and she would walk off pouting and moaning and still throwing that fit and I would go in there and ask her why do you throw those fits when I told ok I'll do it and she would always say idk or you dont listen and I told her that I do I just wanted you try something with it and she threw a fit about it.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I don’t disagree with spanking. The previous comments are right about talking first to see why she’s acting that way. If things are going well in school, her needs are all being met and she’s being a brat then sometimes kids need that kind of punishment. You have to be consistent or she’ll whine and pout until she gets her way. Give her a chance to be better or there’s consequences. If she doesn’t turn the attitude around then she gets the punishment. Right after you tell her clearly why she got the punishment and tell her you love her and want her to make better choices. Ask her to apologize. If she doesn’t then the punishment is not over. Never punish out of anger, only out of love to guide her in the way she needs to go. You know her better than all of us, some kids need extra love time and affection, she could be acting out to get those things from you, so try to prevent the behavior.
