writes: I have 3 children a 6yr old son and 4 year old twin girls, One of my twin daughters is very unruley and i'm at an end of what to do next. If her behaviour was just at home I wouldn't mind so much but shes like it at pre school as well. She does the opposite of what shes told, waits until someone is watching then does something she shouldn't do and today she bit another child. She use to bite her twin sister alot but we seem to have conquered that one. Any advice on how to make her listen and behave would be greatly appreciated. I have tried ignoring her but hasn't worked. Hope to hear from somebody soonAmanda Reply to this Question |

 I had the same problem with my 4 year old, constantly acting up and biting people. so embarasing!im sure you have tried everything you can think of but heres what i done.when my daughter bit anyone she was sent up stairs for 4 minutes ( her age) she used to kick and scream but i just put her in the room shut the door held on to it so she couldnt get it, count the four minutes then let her out. when she came out i went down to her level and repeated her name until i got her full attention. if she interupted i stoped talkng and she would have to wait longer to get back downstairs. i asked her if she knew why she was up here and asked her to apologize to whoever she bit. this is a very tiring progress but eventually it worked and now she is bite free!as for the misbehaving it is all attention. again i had the same problem.i know you have tried ignoreing but it did work for me. when she did something naughty (except from violence) i completly ignored it but when she did the tinyist thing right i praised her till i wad blue ni the face. totally exagerating how amazing it was and she seen how much attention she got for being good. it worked! and i now have a very well behaved daughter who very rarely steps out of line. i really hope this helps because i know how hard it can be! email me back if you want any moe advice! rachael xx
