There she is, above, being so kind and nurturing, giving Tyden a band aid when he hurt himself. A moment later, he could do something to bother her, like say, breathing, and whoa boy, he'll pay for that.
Anyone have any tips for sassy mouth with siblings? I wouldn't exactly call it sibling rivalry, because it's just Jayla, being rude and snooty toward her brothers. She can be the sweetest, gentlest girl one moment, and the next miss nasty attitude extraordinaire. I've been separating her...if you can't be nice you'll be alone....but it's not really working because she comes out of solitary confinement to just repeat offend within minutes.
My new method is she will have to serve her brothers to honor them. This morning she had to make Tyden's bed for him because of her breakfast behavior. We'll see if our "honoring" techniques work. Don't tell her, but I actually have no clue what I'm doing. Shhhh. If anyone has any helpful suggestions, I'm open.

having the SAME SAME problem with my 6 year old...i like the "honoring' idea...let me know how it goes! i'll let you know if i come up with any great ideas. i normally just send her to her room for while, and sometimes take away something she's looking forward to (watching a show, eating dessert after dinner).
oooh... you always have such good ideas. i love getting tips from you. thx again.
Oh, you think it ends? My 9 year old does the same thing......It's called the ''mama hen'' syndrome.
No matter what, she wants to correct, tell on, yell at, and just plain nag at her little sister. All for the sake of ''helping''.
I am no help. I've tried everything. She's got a built in habit formed already.........yikes!
This makes me so glad to have boys! :)
