How to handle my cousin?

Question

I have a BRATY 4 year old little cousin that I need help with...He is so horible but his mom won't do anything about it. He is setting a horrible example for his little sister (who is 2). I am not alowed to spank him and nobody else will. But he also won't listen, I don't know what to do.

--------------------------------------... Here is some of the things he's done...

--------------------------------------... My BFF had just got to my house for a sleepover and my cousin was there, so when the doorbell rang I went outside to say hi and to talk to her for a while and he locked us out.

2. He pantsed me at school in front of everyone.

3. He screms at me in front of my friends and crush.

4. He breaks all of my things.

5. He picks up my little poodle and my little yorkie by the ears and the tail just to be mean.

6. Whenever I stick out my toung at anybody (jokingly) he lickes my toung or bites my toung (both are gross)

--------------------------------------...

He does a LOT more than that but now you see my problem so..........

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Answer 1

Okay.

First of you need to calm down! He is four years old. You cannot expect him to act like a mature 20 year old.

Talk to your aunty about his behaviour and try to control him.

For example, if you stay out of trouble for half an hour.. You get a cookie.. Or maybe money might help... But i highly doubt that would work... And getting a four year old involved with money could be dangerous! lol!

I gather he visits your house regularly? Well ask if he can come like once a week/month instead of all the time!

Ummm good luck!

Answer 2

How old are you. Your cousins four. Are you older than him. You probably are. If your braty cousin picked up my dogs by the ears and tail, I wouldn't listen to his mum. I would give him the biggest smack he won'tbe ale to sit down for a week. That's cruelty! Don't listen to his mother, she obviously doesn't know a thing about parenting. I would be so angry with him if he did that to my dog he wouldn't know what's coming. Anyway, I don't think thats the best way to resolve things- violence. Therefore, lock him in a cupboard until he apologises, and you said he doesn't listen to you, entice him into the cupboard with something he likes. That's you can do I'm afraid, also, his mum, have a word with her too.

whoa, your cousin is really very naughty.

and the sad part is that his parents are not doing anything.

whenever he do all this right, do you just ignore him or brush him of jokingly? if yes, then maybe you should be a little bit fierce towards him. you don't have to spank him just be firm and talk to him.

if you are always scolding him when he is doing 'stuffs' then try sitting down and talking to him like an adult.

hope it helps..

lol! he sounds funny....but anyway you should talk to your auntie...explain to her how you feel and tell her you are now growing up and dont need you lil cusin to do all this to you...avoid him, ignore him and tell him he is dumb and ignorant for doing things like that and soon he will get the point... i have a lil cusin just like that except i could push him away from me all the time. Tell your auntie he is setting a bad example to his lil sister... i met a lil kid just like that down here in Florida and he had a baby sister too...but he was out of control and his mom couldnt even control him..i felt bad for her because she needs to control him now more then ever before he grows up to be something she dont want him to be
