My 6 year old constantly has an attitude how can I fix it?

[Anonymous]

My daughter recently has been starting to have attitude problems one minute she’s happy and the next minute she’s whining or has an attitude. Some examples are If she ask me a question and I take more than 10 seconds to respond she’s stomps away and goes in her room. Every time I make her food she waste all food and ask for more food a hour or 2 later so I tell her to wait and after 5 minutes of waiting she starts to cry get mad or mumbles stuff under her breath. And if she ask me for something and I tell her no she gets mad I have never had this problem with her before how can I fix our relationship?

First, ignore it.

Second, you're the parent. She can get mad, but that's her problem. Be consistent and ensure that she understands that her behavior is not acceptable. Mad is acceptable, mumbling and stomping are not.

Don't give her the new food until the next meal time. It'll last about a day and a half.

All of this is happening because she's 6. She's testing boundaries. This part of growing up. Be consistent and hold the line on what's important. Don't respond to most of this and the lack of attention will solve most of it.

Give her options, and let she choose:

"You can either eat this now, or not eat in the following 3 hours. What do you prefer?"

Don't abuse control thought. You shall only control when it really matters.

And important: never undo your word, or she will learn that she can trick you.

Whoop that ass! Oh wait that's not socially acceptable or "legal" anymore. Alright I got it! Kneel down and honor her as your princess! { This is sarcasm! }
