Y’all, I don’t know how much more I can handle of Tinley.
She’s great for everyone else but me!
No matter what I do she NEVER listens to me. She tells me she don’t like me and she doesn’t want to stay here. She hollers for my mom every time she gets in trouble.
I have tried literally everything and nothing seems to phase her!
My daughter is the same way. She doesn’t listen to anything I say ever, and no amount of discipline works. She just doesn’t care. It was worse when she was 4 and she’s almost 6 now so sometimes I can reason with her but it’s a daily battle. I usually threaten her with no iPad time or no dessert.
Look into southbaymommyandme on Instagram. She has so many great tips and has really helped me teach my son how to express himself in a healthier way but she’s also taught me how to communicate with my son in a way that will get results. It definitely takes time and a lot of practice but it has been so worth it.
@scidg3, she’s incredible and so kind. I tell everyone to follow her. She responds every single time I’ve ever messaged her.
My mom used to make me put my knees on hard rice in the corner for however long lol
@imacat, I’m not I’m jst Saying that’s the type of stuff she did to make me act right
I’m in the same boat with my daughter, except she doesn’t listen to ANYONE! I’m to the point where I don’t know what to do.
I cry everyday cause mine is so bad!
She gets butt whoopins, I put her in the corner, I’ve taken toys, I have done absolutely everything.
@brittanystewart304, we’ve done the same thing. I’m literally about to take everything from her. A friend of mine makes her boys do wall sits when they act out, and they haven’t been in trouble In months. I’m considering that.
Does your mom give into her?? Also kids are often good for everyone else except their parents. They know and sense the unconditional love from them. Just be patient, consistent, and get your mom on board if she isn't.
Once in a blue moon she will.
Tinley has gotten soooo bad over the last few months. To the point where I cry in the evenings when she goes to bed.
I stay so stressed out cause nothing works.
@brittanystewart304 it will get better. My daughter was like this when she was little and it's so frustrating.
Is your mom letting her get away with everything and you are upholding rules?
Not sure if this will help. We just started a new reward system he gets an X when he’s really bad, hitting his sister, constant name calling. I give him some leeway hoping he will change his attitude. Anyway he gets up to 5, after 3 he looses dessert and after that he could loose video games or tv time or tablet. My goal is to show him good behavior gets good things, I don’t want to constantly be yelling at him. We also use stickers so show when he did something really good, helped his sister or changed his attitude. I also try to praise him for his good behavior!
