Problem

February 10, 2019 12:07pm CST
Our daugter is 8 years old but the problem is that she thinks she is her brothers 4 years old mother. If we tell him something to do then she overrule the instruction and tell him something els to do.... Anyone with the same problem? And what can be done?

I would tell her that he already knows what to do, and she is not the parent. Let her model good behavior for him so he wants to follow her example.

I wrote a earlier response to this ...maybe it got deleted :( ... maybe she is just trying to be helpful .. And feel needed .. Maybe just give her more responsibility And always try and make her feel.smart ..maybe she is gonna be a leader one day. :)

I think you need to let her know that it is bad. Perhaps you can try to let her socialize with other kiddies at her age.

I see many little kids who do this, its just something they do. All you can do is make sure they both know that that kid isn't the boss, you are.

I have only one daughter. I think she will change with time as she grown up. So no need to worry.

This is normal, she now shows jealousy, because she is older and most of all she must, while her brothers do nothing. She does not realize yet that they are small.
