Hi, my daughter is 4 years old, and she is too proactive and mischievous, she wants everybody attention to be?

Question

on her.If anybody comes to house especially kids, she tries to be leader of them and they have to listen to her, she tries to act like a teacher to them..will this behaviour continues in her or will she change as she grows..

Answer 1

Sounds like common childhood behavior to me. A lot of kids especially girls are like this. they want to have control over everything and they want attention. If you don't like the behavior correct it. Most outgrow it, but you have to also make sure to remind them to share, play nice, not be bossy, and that the world does not revolve around them. Or you could have trouble on your hands.

Answer 2

I don't see where the problem is, as long as the other kids listen and follow. If they don't want to, they'll find somethingelse to do. If she keeps the strong will as an adult it will only be an advantage. Sounds like you might have a little d********x on your hands! lol. You should buy her a whip for christmas! Don't be surprised if she is very popular with theboys.

Answer 3

When is the last time you smacked her behind? Only kidding!

Eventually other kids will nip her bossiness in the bud.

As far as acting that way around the adults -- you need to be a parent and nip that behavior in the bud. If she acts up in front of adults give her a consequence privately. Do be very simple and clear about what she did that was wrong and how you want her to treat adults in the future since it seems she has not yet been taught the correct way to respect adults yet (I assume you thought she was too young).

I feel for you. My five year old will start trying to get my attention when I am already conversing with my older children or husband. It is a process but he is getting a lot better moving away from his early childhood egotism and realizing there are other people who matter too -- a nice step to prevent them from becoming sociopaths. ;-)

Answer 4

this can be a good quality IF you handle it correctly. she may be a natural born leader, but you must teach her that a leader listens to the needs of the group and bases decisions on what is good for everybody. encourage her to make decisions that dont matter much but make her feel important, like what she wears that day (you pick out the choices and let her decide between them). GIRL POWER!!!
