my darling 6yr old daughter has developed a huge additude problem
i know all kids go thru a stage and i know they like to push things with you wen they see there friends acting a certian way but....i jus cant take it no more and with being only a few weeks away from giving birth im worried i wont be able to kick it in the butt before new baby arrives and ill struggle
for instance ill ask her to do a simple task such as change from her uniform afterschool and the reply i get..."in a minute" so i say no now she replies "no"
so i end up putting her on naughty step for not listening and being rude n while she is on it she will scream at the top of her voice..."i dont care that u put me here, i hate you, u always tell me what to do, i want a new mum etc etc etc
(very heartbreaking to hear...we are usually very close....had me in tears the other day)
dinner time is a nightmare! she will make excuses to get from the table and takes up to an hour to eat then will moan that its cold n throw a tantrum and ends up with her in her room screaming
naughty step doesnt seem to be working anymore, ive tried reward charts, treats etc i dunno what else to do.
dont get me wrong she is usally very well behaved but went to a friends house after school and came back like this
really dont wanna have to be dealing with this and a newborn baby!!!
HELP!!
any suggestions ladies? XX
