Wow lately my 5 year old girl has been so rebellious. She refuses to listen to me and her dad and even laughs about time out it gets to the point where she needs a good old fashion spanking on her behind. She isn't going away till she behaves herself a lot better.i know she is 5 and isn't going to be good all of the time but the screaming, running and hiding when she is in trouble is going to stop. She is going to have to earn her tv time back as we'll a small he old cell phone. I told her this morning it's school, come home we are doing reading, eating dinner, soccer practices, come home to bed. If she ants things she is going to have to do the 4 R's which are, respect, reaction, responsibility, amd relationship. She earns her bucks at school and I told her she needs to be like she is at school at home.becuas her behavior at home is not acceptable. Where did my sweet, sassy girl go!

She is very cute! She is doing what all kids do at that age she is testing your limits and seeing how far she can push you and what she can and can't get away with. Now that she is in school she is seeing so many different behaviours and how other children are with their parents. You are doing the right thing by immediately letting her know that it will not be tolerated at home. All the best to you. Being a parent can be very trying at times.

yeah my niece has tantrums alot too she is 4. If she doesn't get her way she will start crying and yelling at her mom. My sister tries to put a stop to it but with her being an only child and single mom it's hard for her but shes doing her best. I think eventually they will grow out of this stage or atleast I hope. She does take things away from her when she acts up etc.

@ShyBear88 yeah my niece is now in school all day for kindergarten she will be 5 in november. Before she was in daycare all day as my sister works but it seems she only has bad tantrums when she is at home and doesn't get her way. We keep telling her they need to stop and she needs to stop mouthing back to her mom also. My sister does her best with her but at times she cant win. We try to help also

@Blondie2222 I'm pretty tough so crying and stuff doesn't get to me it bothers my husband an she'll get angry so I normally deal with it before I let him get in. I'm also with the kids all day so I'm use to their crazy and wild behavior but their is a line to hoe much anyone can take. Just got to keep strong and do the best you can. Parents are human ans it some takes a Villiage.

Kids....they are lovable but growing up with them requires all your skills.

It has nothing to do with skills if it did their would be a hand book. No hand books for kids just all trial and error.

You are right to discipline her it will help her know what is right and wrong. The worst time is when they grow up and have more rebellion. Praying your loved one grows out of the rebellious stage.

I want a good teenager not a bad one. If she is rebellious as a teen please let be not like right now. Children you love them but some days you want to lock them up.
