My daughter the one who just turned 5 now thinks that she can do, say & act however she feels like. Yesterday when being picked up from school she wouldn't listen to the teacher when told to go get her bags...she screamed & kicked stomped her feet...screamed at her uncle. Sitting there listening to my Mother tell the story all I could think is who does this little girl think she is? I was going to beat her...I mean not really but I was going to spank her. But I decided that would be the easy way out & I wanted her to suffer for what she had done. I had a conversation with her and explained that I was embarassed by what she had done. Being only 5 she didn't comprehend the concept of being embarassed so I racked my brain for a way to explain this to a 5 year old & this is what I came up with. I asked her how she would feel if while she was playing on the playground at school and all your friends are watching & I came and pulled your skirt up how would you feel. In the end I got my point across. (I think). When we got home I made her go in her room & sitting at her table writing her name over & over again. I didn't let her come out to eat dinner I made her do that in her room by herself. Hopefully she learned her lesson...otherwise next time I just might end up beating her. j/k
