I know the feeling of some of you on school age kids and I qm starting to feel the same.
So I have a dcg who is 8. I have watched this girl off and on since she was two.
On friday she agrued with everything I aaked her to do. Mostly pick up her toys. She has the attitude of a preteen.
The thing I am having an issue with is her manipulation. She says she doesnt want to do something then when some one else Goes to do it she screams she was just kidding. Last week she took her brothers favorite toy (he has had it his whole life ) just to tease him so she didnt have to wait her turn for a toy. I never let her get away with her manipulation. And on friday she tried to manipulate me by saying she doesnt wajt to come here anymore and if she leaves brother wont come either. Then she started screaming about how she had a bad day again trying to get me to feel bad for her
I talked to mom quickly about her behavior friday but I know this family and I know nothing was done about it. I want to have a full conversation with mom about her behavior .
I am going to get her a book to write her agruments down in so that we can discuss them later .
How would you handle the manipulation?
