Question

My 10yr old sister has tantrums and throws things and my mom just ignores it. Is that what she supposed to do

Answer 1

I grew up in a hispanic household...my mom just gave us a look and we'd stop haha....moms know how do deal with this stuff...they know their kids and how to respond to them

Answer 2

It might be your sister is looking for attention, and your mom is doing the right thing by ignoring her.  It might be hard, but if your sister gets her way everytime she throws a tatrum she will continue to do it.  You might want to ask your mom why she ignores them, and ask if there is anything you can do to help her.  Hang in there.

Answer 3

If your sister was two years old, I would say that your mother was doing the right thing.  But a ten-year-old is waaaaaay too old to be behaving this way without consequences.  Your mother should be offering some kind of discipline to make your sister stop doing this.  It will be a lot worse by the time she is fourteen, if it doesn't stop now.

Answer 4

Right or wrong, I believe I would have to spank a 10 year old that acts like a 2 year old........if for no other reason, just to shock her into behaving.......
