    The issue I have with her is she sets her mind and nothing changes it.

    Example: I tell her to eat all her dinner or she gets no dessert and the answer I get is "I don't want ice cream"

    If I say "you'll goto bed" she says "I want to goto bed"

    What kills me.... Is I've followed through with it and its exactly what she wants lol.

    I am not a mom but the lady running this program has been doing it for long time and has 6 kids. She is well liked. She is pleasant and parents ask for advice. . She's solid. I suggested she teach a parenting class or something to help young parents. They need help sometimes.

    She would not use food as a reward. She also said that kids aren't like adults. They haven't learned to over eat yet. They will stop eating when they are full. She only gives them a little. If they want more they ask with a please. Bed time is established. It's not used as a punishment. She's very good. If kids run she says use your walking feet please versus don't run. Or Be kind to one another; versus don't hit.

    Reinforce the positive behavior. She's a saint with the kids. I learned from watching her.

    LOL, you are going to have your hands full unless she is also smart enough to realize what you are telling her is for her best and it's also in her best interest to listen. It can happen, mine went through a short faze like that but luckily it didn't last one.

    My 2nd one is getting an attitude off and on but TV is the biggest negative influence. If you watch any of the shows you will see they do exactly what you are describing and all the kids over react about every little thing.

    Limit her TV or watch them with her and point out the bad behavior as well as the good. Usually at the end they show they learned something but 90% of the show is over reacting so the last part is missed or forgotten.
