Someone somewhere

My daugher is seven and for the last month has had the worst additude ever. She screams at me, slams her door. She does this when I ask anything of her. She will tease her little sister who is two and when I tell her to stop, she will yell at me, tell me she hates me and her sister and go into her room and slam the door. The other day she was made and ripped all the posters off her wall. I am about to pull my hair out.

And on top of it, my two year old thinks it is funny and screams at the top of her lungs when ever her sister starts yelling.

HELP!
 
sucks when lack of discipline bites us in the butt doesnt it?

all she needs is CONSISTENT discipline and she will turn her little self right around, she is seeing how far she can push you and finding no limits to hold her back.
 
It sounds like you need to give her something to really scream about.

I have two sons that are ADHD. I know you don't want to spank, but this may be best your bet if you are looking for a 180 behavior turn around. This is how I would approach it:

1) Give a warning first. Explain the action that was wrong and let her know what will happen the next time.

2) No warning here, take the child by the arm, (she will fight you) bare her bottom and secure her. Give her a good 5 or 6 swats until she is crying and promising to be good.

3) Sit her down, tell her you love her and let her knows this is what happens when she's naughty from now on.

It works like a charm and if the old two think it's funny repeat the process on them!
 
ignore her. she is only yelling and acting that way b/c she wants attention and since you react, she'll do it again. sit still when she does that again.
