You're reading I cannot find another way to discipline my back talking daughter besides spanking and even that doesn't work. What ways have you used to discipline a back talking, spoiled brat?

You are so right when you say to tell them why you are taking things away. Making it clear what is unacceptable.

I'm with you one hundred percent Shay! She needs to know that there will be consequences to her actions.

no offense shay thats a good idea but my mother does that to my sister and she just gets angrier... maybe thats just her... lol

If she sits in her room long enough with nothing but a bed, I'd imagine she'll get over it eventually. Mom just needs to stick to her guns.

shay, what you suggest here is a clear recipe for continued conflict and increasing resentment on both sides. going head to head with a rebellious child using punishment only is frustrating. recognizing and rewarding the child when it's behaving well is even more important than punishing bad behavior.

Sorry Vera, but this is about parenting not friendship, not compromise or codling. Either you are the parent or you are not. The child is to be raised by the adult not the other way around. If the parent does not address the negative behaviors then the child will believe that there are no consequences for unacceptable behavior. If you violate the law you are not rewarded you are punished. If you fail to comply with rules and regulations at school, on the job, in society you are not rewarded to persuade you not to continue the behavior, you are punished according to the prescribed laws or rules. The home should be the training ground for what is appropriate or acceptable and what is not.

i stand by my answer. and my four adult children agree with me.
by vera city on May 7th, 2009
And I know that my comments are on point whether you agree or not. Adults should not negotiate with children who need to be guided. I know a lot of people who are stuborn and refuse to acknowledge thruth when they see or hear it. Kodos to you and your 4 and the same to the dozens of children that I have reared, mentored and instructed over the 30 years I have engaged.
