Find out what she likes. Television, talking on the phone, whatever. If she is being punished take it away. Don't send her to her room, send her to a room with nothing. Like a bed, her school books, that is it.

Spanking really doesn't help in the long run. She needs consequences for her actions that make sense.

Also, if she is crying for something and you ever give in, ever, she is going to learn that if she just cries loud enough and long enough you will eventually give in.

What you have to do is not keep arguing with her or even acknowledge that she is crying.


I see parents all the time when their kids are crying they keep talking and saying "I said no".

Please Mommy?
No I said no
Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?
I said no
Why?
Because I said so?
Why do you say so?
Pleeeeeeeeeeease?
No
Please I really want it
No

I mean just say no and mean no. Say it once and don't keep talking about it. Make them know that no means no.



Well it is obvious you said no. You don't have to repeat yourself. Your kid is smart enough to know you said no.

That is why they are crying. No matter how much they cry just ignore them. Have a conversation with your wife and try as best as you can not to even act as if you are aware your child is crying.

They will eventually grow tired of crying.
I have seen parents try to quiet the child. Let them cry. They will use their energy and probably sleep better later on at night. Just let them cry and scream all the want and you just stay calm.

Of course the child will grow louder and more persistant. It will be difficult at first to break a child who is used to having their tamtrums be the center of attention. Eventually if you stick with it, they will learn their tantrums will not result in getting their way. They will try other methods of trying to get their way. You must resist it all. You must resist any whining or manipulation. You must be in control and must teach your child that no simply means no. You are not going to change your mind once you have said it.
