What are some good ways to discipline a 10 year old girl with a bad attitude? ?

Question

We have already taken away all her stuff. Her room is almost bare, but her attitude is just getting worse. When she talks back it is hate full and she has no reason to be that way. What are some good ideas to punish her or tempt her into acting like a nice, and normal young lady?

Answer 1

I need to know that.

I wish you the best of luck

Answer 2

Spare the rod, spoil the child

Nuff said

Answer 3

Take a belt and wear her butt out until she knows who is boss.She may not LIKE it but she will do what she is told.If she starts with the attitude again, ask her if she wants another spanking, that there are PLENTY more where the last one came from.

I mean let's be reasonable.WHo is the parent you or her?

If an adult cannot handle a 10 yr. old girl,what are they going to do when she turns 11,12,13,15-17?I don't think begging will work.

Answer 4

Smack her across her mouth. I do it to my kids. You can take away her stuff all you want, but unless you punish--not discipline, she will never change. Tell her every time she back talks, she'll get a smack across the mouth. Don't do it hard enough to break her lip open or knock teeth out, just do it hard enough to get the point across.

Answer 5

time outts usually help aloot.

and ask her to behave and then give one item that you took away back . and you can also watch nanny 911 for more tips. [:  

Answer 6

Try reaching her.  Look at her with love, make sure you touch her with affection.  Go out of your way to be more loving, more patient.  It's hard I know, when you want to smack the little monster, but your daughter might be in a corner, where she wants love and doesn't know how to get it.  

Don't let her get away with bad behaviour, but make sure that you show her you love her, and value her.  Praise her.  Spend time together, just the two of you, and act as though nothing is wrong.  Let her hear you praise her to other people.

Start talking about her babyhood, how precious she was, how excited you were - that kind of thing.

Good luck.

Answer 7

Ask why she is like this, when i get an attitude problem its usually ,something went on at school .

Answer 8

I would use the punishment/reward system.  The better she listens to you, the more she is rewarded appropriately.  The less she listens, the worse the punishment.

However, if she hasn't been disciplined by her parents consistently since she was younger, then expect this to take longer.

Answer 9

Beat that @$$!!!, not in the way you would fight a grown up, but if the bible says "spare the rod, spoil the child" then who am i to tell god he's wrong.

all jokes a side, try talking to her, using time outs, i'm not a big fan of them, but they DO work when you stick to them. Taking away items,(TV,PSP, whatever 10year olds like, "Hailey Montana??!!",etc)

The major problem is now that she's ten, if she wasnt disciplined from the start then its gonna be a ruff ride. Just remember that she is Ten, and your the adult, so dont let them take over. Good Luck  

Answer 10

Wash her mouth out with soap next time she talks back. And as a lot of previous posters have said she is not too old for a good spanking with a switch or hairbrush.

Answer 11

As of this moment, I don't have that problem because I nipped it in the butt the first time it came up.

She's angry about something, take time to talk to her and listen to her. Really listen to her.

Don't give up on her though.

Answer 12

Just an idea, try spending time together.perhaps you have lost touch. will be hard but try to listen

Answer 13

your kidding right where did parents stop being....parents omg just yell and if she dosent respond you always have a belt

Answer 14

She is not too old for a proper spanking.

That means panties down.  Lots of hard slaps to her bare bottom.  When her crying is out of control, give her 10 more spanks but harder.  Finally, give her a hug and then some privacy so she can regain her composure and dignity.

Later, have a talk with her about her attitude.

Answer 15

That's why god placed gave children behinds. Some times you just got to introduce your hand to it!  

Answer 16

Do you know why she has a bad attitude? have you tried talking to her? I think you need to sit down and talk to her camly and lovingly to try and find out with the problem is, I don't think that childen act out badly unless there is something bothering them. She may be doing it for attention, and she is basically crying out that she needs something. (not wants but needs). I think if you go for a ride in the car that is one of the best places to talk, or take her on a walk and talk to her, get her away from her room or from places where she could bolt and hide. Maybe something is going on in school, or with a friend and she doesn't know how to talk about it. She has to be getting her hateful ideas from somewhere and you should really find out, even if you think she has no reason to be hateful. I agree in punshment, but this sounds more deeper than just a bad attitude.
