hi guys,
id like your views on my daughter she's only just turned 10, she's an only child and spoiled but she gotton very bold and cheeky lately and has an auful attitude problem and she far to young to be having an atticude problem and she's gotton so serious if people are messing with her she gets so thick and storms off and give a load of cheek now she was never this bold, now i do punish her by grounding her our cutting her pocket money it just seems to be getting worse by the day and she's always sorry but then she'll just do it again if she dosent get her own way, what do i do next to knock this out of her before she gets worse, i dont want her to grow up with people disliking her because she's to bold or cheeky because that's what will end up happining,
anyone else have this problem.
advise please

my son is the same and he's only seven! it seems to be since he started junior school and has got a lot more independent and has had to take responsibility for himself more. I think he feels a bit out of his depth and is trying to grow into something! I know he is good and kind but when people see a snippet of his attitude it looks awful! I am just trying to be calm and gentle with him as I suspect he gets some of his ideas from me! If this doesn't work i'll have to resort to a more old fashioned method!!

My 7 year old son has been like this since he became a junior too my 4 year old daughter is worse. What I do is take away sometyhing they wanted to do like play on the playstation, or watchig telly, I don't let them back on it, abd the more naughty they are the more they are banned or loose out on things, it does seem to work and time out always works they hate it so deffo go down that road.

Good Luck sometimes its hard being a mum, I have 3 and some days I don't know how I make it through the day.

I have three as well. two boys and a baby girl (much calmer than her brothers). The older boy doesn't like being banned from things but the younger boy doesn't seem to be frightened by anything. I have to try to remember not to give punishments that I will go back on or will harm me more than them. I don't like banning them from doing an activity I have already paid for. Usual give early bed times, ban telly and sweets, playstation etc. I sometimes say I will give a punishment and then can't remember later what punishment I gave!
