I am having to clamp down om my 8 year old behaviour at the moment. She is very bright but she has such an attitude lately and is quite rude to me. Everything I ask her is like I am asking her to climb a mountain. I have sat down and spoke to her and told her I love her so much but I will not be treated like this. I am starting to take privileges away. After though I second guess my self and feel guilty and all I might have denied her was say some sweets.Have you gone through this? How did you deal with it effectively? Any genuine thoughts people would be appreciated.

Well I haven't hit that stage yet
Of course. We all want to give are children the earth but if we're not careful they won't appreciate it. Try and deal with the guilty feelings by giving your daughter a task or chore you know she will achieve and enjoy or something you can do together, then you will be able to reward her for good behaviour rather than punish her for not doing something. That way you still get to treat your lil princess and she's still learning things don't come for free! Good luck :)
Teach her, youre doing right. And DOUBT THE DOUBTS.. you dont want a brat, of which breaks your heart, her heart, and Gods heart, even as she breaks her own heart..
As a parent i try to remember this: what I see now, & DONT like in their character MUST be dealt with, and must be corrected in the approriate manner.. . dont be afraid ...as aparent, all you can do is your best. If you are ever wrong, talk about that too.
NEVER feel bad for correcting or teaching.. All youre teaching her is that "when you are older, you will miss out on things, if you dont do what is right. And it will hurt you at some point."
YOu will ruin her conscience if you dont help her figure whats right or wrong. When you allow wrong behavior & reward it, or dont remove some pleasures, then you create a monster, and give that to the world.. we dont want to do that as much as possible.
LOVE IS CORRECTION, teaching, lessons, giving examples of what may happen later, but on a smaller scale in a way.. Cause if she acts up when shes grown, then poilice come, take her to jail, that makes her then lose her apartment, her job, her children,etc.. And she will no doubt lose good friends, those who WOULD be her good friend if she wasnt acting wild, cause they like peace & she cant live in it.. so then she would lose so much, you see? So, dont believe the doubt.. Usually what God wants you to do, you will feel doubt, but the way that you know that its right to do is WISDOM tells you that it will help in the end thereof...even if not easy.
-she doesnt even know that shes wrong yet. This will mature her, faster, this will not break her Will to live, but it will break the strong Will, which is being used negatively right now within her.
- dont let her ruin her, its your job - keep up the good work. & watch out for bad friends..for her. Bad company corrupts good manners, good charaxcter, good thinking, good mindsets, good paradigms... its better to stand alone, then in a midst of fools, & if her only option is kids with attitudes & rebellion, then she will be uncorrupted & better to grow alone, until she is sure where & why she stands..
You sound like you are doing everything you should as a responsible parent , when the guilt kicks in , just remember, your child will not be the one hanging on the street corner getting drunk or pregnant!
Always make sure she knows it is her choice to be naughty therefore her choice on whether she gets treats!
Always find the key , meaning whatever she likes at the time , take it away , you will eventually have a nice unspolit girl on your hands ....but not perfect ! Good luck
dont feel guilty she needs to learn she cant disrespect you otherwise it will only get worse and youll be fighting a losing battle by the time shes a teenager, its better to knock it on the head now. its mostly her age, shes just finding her way and not long until puberty starts. its your choice how you want to discipline her but you should do so to make sure shes aware whats shes doing is unfair, it will get easier and most children grow out of it but everytime she is rude towards you speak to her about it and take privilages if necessary as thats the main way she will learn. good luck.
Write down the reasons or doing so objectivelt and read it when you feel guilty.
no you have no need to feel guilty if you deem somethign is wrong she must learn that she must face the consequences for it if you do this know she will be well prepaired for when she goes out into the big wild world.
Your doing fine, she needs to know that it is unacceptable. If she carries on i would begin grounding her/not letting her play with friends etc.
we all been down that path.you doing fine,that good parenting to give her boundaries,bad parenting let her get away with it.carry on way you are,i wish all parents did what you are doing
