6yr old attitude

[Kelmaisie81]

Hey everyone

I am really struggling with my 6yr old lg. Her attitude stinks, it is so hard not to react in a negative. My husband is really finding this hard too, they do clash.

Also being an only child she is really intense to entertain....always wanting to do something. It is draining.....help!!!

We have a 7 year old with an attitude but years ago we did a webster stratton parenting course and learned some great tips. One was quiet time, a time for them to reflect on their behsviour. Usually on a step of stairs and one minute for every year of age. It takes time to work but our 7 year old knows when she wrong and often now goes and takes her self away to calm down.

Hi, are there particular things you are finding difficult? Are there any triggers for your little girl?

There is an online course you can do on Just One Norfolk about Understanding Your Child. It might have some insights. It's completely free and you can do it in your own time at your own pace: justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/onlin...

Thank you sorry didnt see the replies . I returned to work in March so it may be that but shes always been clingy to me even though I made sure I wasnt keeping her all the time and as soon as my partner came home from work he would always have her so I can go to have a bath or do something. I will get my partner to have a look at soilhil. Thank you again
