Question

My 6 year old daughter is talking back to me as if she was a grown woman. Tried everything please help!?

Answer 1

my daughter tried that too!! i would put her in time our or put her nose on the wall!!! she hated that!!! when i put her there i  would tell her why and before i let her get up or go play i made her tell my why she was there!!! and it seemed to work and she got the idea that she can not do that !! now that she is 13 i don't think putting her in time our or putting her nose on the wall  is going to work!! but bottom line she is a good girl!!!!

Answer 2

My 6 year old does it too.  Sometimes I realize that it's a blood-sugar or over tired thing - which doesn't excuse it but I do handle it differently.

For backtalking, I get down on her level, look her straight in the eyes and say "That was rude. If you talk to me that way again, you will go to your room.  Please apologize."

And then I follow through.

Unfortunately, this makes me the "no fun" parent.  Daddy is much more fun... but he supports the "no smart talk" rule and enforces it as well.  She just doesn't talk back to him as much.

Answer 3

did you smack her upside the face?

Answer 4

My 6 yr old went through that too...and I take something that means the world to her..and we have a chart with good things that should go on during the week and at the end of the week she gets a small treat from the treat box.

Children can be manipulative. Especially when they know that they can get away with it. And I am guilty for not being consistant...I would never say anything to her. But the sassiness has got to stop because then it happens at school and in public.

So you just have to NOT allow her to get to you...stand your ground. No means No...say what you mean and mean what you say. Speak with authority...sit her down and tell her what's appropriate and what is not because she could be imitating someone...I realized that my kid has my mouth and attitude...I used to talk to my aunt (she raised me) the same way.

Answer 5

dont put up with it send her to her room or ground her she cant talk back to u

Answer 6

im 14 and i talk back to my parents all the time.

i think its just a way of saying im right your wrong, well thats from a kids point of view.

my cousin is 6 and i think its the time when kids start getting there own opinions and they want to let you know what they think weather its in a good way or bad.

Answer 7

smack her she cant talk 2 u that way show her discipline make her have respect

Answer 8

I know this seems a little mean but i dont spank my kids i just threaten them. My 6 yr old does the same sometimes. My grandpas wife is really loud (cuz she cant hear) and looks like a witch, so of course my kids are scared of her. They get real quite when we go there to visit. So when she talks back i just threaten her with sending her there.  I tell her "she'll straiten you out". I wouldnt ever really do it or anything to scare them but she knocks the attitude off quick. When she doesnt believe me i tell her to put her shoes on and i grab the phone. After that she promises to not talk back. I still have never had to do anything nor send her and she talks back way less too.

Answer 9

ask a child mind doctor or something like that they would probably know

Answer 10

one word...spanking !!!!!  just a few well placed swats on the child's bottom..just enough to redden it good and make it sting..and she will get the point. follow the spanking with a ..lecture about it..and 10-20 minutes alone in her room to think about it.

Answer 11

She's just a bright kid.  You need to tell her when to end the conversation.  Mine did that and it gets worse.  I tell her, "You aren't getting the last word; I am the mother; you need to be quiet and listen and no comments"  depending on the situation.  You need to set the boundaries because when she's a teenager, you may have more problems.

Answer 12

when my children talking rudely, mean, or even downright cruel, I make them l**k a bar of soap. The old fashioned, tried and true way to get them to realize THEY must learn to control their tongues! They are 5 and 3 (one year old, too, but of course don't need to worry about this yet). We started doing this a few weeks ago and have only had to use it about three times since we started.

Every few weeks/months, they try to test their limits and see if we are going to be consistent. That is the key. You must always be consistent. What is wrong today is wrong tomorrow.

Answer 13

At that age, children (and especially girls, it seems) discover the power of argument, and they try it out. Moms usually are their favorite victims. With my daughters, I tried (and still try) to be as tolerant as possible, as long as they talk to me in a polite or at least "normal"  fashion. When they just whine or repeat the same stuff over and over, I sometimes have to say "Stop - I don't want to hear any more on this, and if you choose to keep going I will spank you." That normally helps - I had to go through with the spanking once or twice with each girl, then they had learned the lesson.

Answer 14

Sounds about right in todays world.One thing you must not do is to supress her knowledge.Answer her but always with the right stuff.Think a few years down the line when you are out shopping together and she is advising you as to what clothes to buy to keep you young.Their is nothing wrong at all with the child she is simply searching for knowledge and support that and be proud.

Answer 15

Time to try hard bare bottom spanking
