[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 688571, member: 20051"] Okay. My kids don't really have behavior problems, per se, and they are little, but your daughter sounds a little like them in maturity level. The problem with "We will think about it" usually ends up with constant begging, whining, and nagging about making a decision, then the same pouting when the answer is no. I think if you look at your response, though, you will see something. She has the "power." She is manipulating and she is controlling you with her behavior. She may not be doing it consciously, but she has learned that her behavior does get her what she wants. My question, though, is her behavior only in response to buying her things or is it also about getting permission to do certain things? Is this pretty much any time she hears, "no?" I [/QUOTE]
