How do you discipline a spoiled younger sibling?

Question

My little 7 year old sister is so freakin SPOILED (My dads fault) because I discipline her but I dont think I do it right cause I be poppin her hard and im really not trying to be like these punk behind parents that have these "grown behind teenagers" Im scared because I dont want her to think that I dont Love her, because thats what I thought when I was her age.

Answer 1

My mom and dad spoils my little brother a lot. What i do is i shout at him infront of our parents and tell my parents about it at the same time (Thats he's a bad spoiled bratt.). So atleast they should know.

Answer 2

show her videos of those starving and neglected kids,

and show her that not everybody gets what they want just because they want it and instead be happy for things they already got

Answer 3

since 7 years olds are still considered naive, with hints of naughtiness of course, you should try to gain her affection by involving her in your activites like you would try to engage a family friend's child once in a while--you should tolerate some naughtiness but dont forget to be firm on checking on her tantrums--you can do that without laying a hand on her<especially if you come from particularly juvenile-protecting countries>--like refusing her something she fancies, explain to her what actions are not acceptable and.. give her sometime to think over it<children tend to go over their deeds too>....give her leeway, and when she seems to have gotten over it<a day would usually be enough, you have to observe her> you have to try engaging her again in some cheerful activities..and you have to enjoy it yourself... like for example, washing the car, she puts the soap and you do the rinsing... but let me tell you, something like her splashing water on you or everywhere is inevitable. you have to go along with her on simple pleasures/fun like that. talking to her, hugging her, playing with her also helps...figure out more ideas from that...the process takes time im warning you, but really, what you need to gain is her respect and affection at the same time--those two will balance each other in matters of subordination..      

Answer 4

spank hes asss girl and make sure she knows whos dah boss

Answer 5

let her discover the life herself, and see how shell like it when she insists on doing things her own way. thats the only way she will be disciplined - by herself and of course, life will teach her.

Answer 6

Its first depends on what she did and the level of discipline she should get, tell her what she did wrong, then if you think you should stilldisciplinee her or not. Afterwards tell her you love her, but she shouldn't do or say the things she did wrong!

Answer 7

I Sit My Brother Down & Talk To Him About All His Problems. I Tell Him To Understand That What He's Doing Isn't Right. They Need To Understand That Toys & Games Are Not Everything & That They Need To Be Thankful For What They Have. If He Misbehaves I Usually Punish Him & If It Gets Out of Hand, I Tell My Parents. A Little Bit Of Talking, Making Them Feel Guilty, and Punishment Helps. But Don't Yell, Trust Me Does Not Work. =]

Answer 8

Laying hands on a child NEVER works.  Despite what far too many people believe, spanking is NOT O.K. and it is NOT effective.  7 years old is a bit too old for "time-out".  This works great for younger kids because talking, too much language input confuses them.  However, talking (not trying to reason with) to a 7 year old is by far, the best option.  It is NOT easy and may take awhile to work.  This method shows the child respect (which ALL children deserve and have a right to- even spoiled brats!  LOL!!)

It allows the child to feel valued and a part of the family dynamics.  It also demonstrates that physical communication will NOT work in the real world.  Try words and then leave the child by herself for a little while.  Allow her to think about what you have said and leave it at that.  Like I said, it is difficult but I bet you see some improvement, little by little.  Good Luck and Hands Off!

P.S.  It is sad that you are given the parental responsibility of disciplining your younger sister.  Your Dad should be ashamed.  I was the 3rd oldest of 7 children and I was forced to play Mom at a very early age. It was unfair and NOT FUN!

Answer 9

You don't! It's not your job to discipline her.. it's you're dads.. and if she's a spoiled brat.. that's his doing. AND you don't hit her for god sakes.. you're suppose to be there for her when she needs you.. not someone who hits her. If you hit her what's she suppose to think other than you don't love her?  

Answer 10

It's not your job to discipline her, and violent discipline doesn't work anyway.  Work on yourself instead of her.

Answer 11

Let her know that your the boss and that you're in charge. I just pop my younger siblings to get them in check or i'll go down to their eye level and tell them firmly that they better listen to me because i'm in charge.
