She's nearly 7. She seems to be very defiant. Behaviour that she knows I dislike she imitates all the time, like she's taunting me. Things I've told her she shouldn't do (like crying like a baby with her mouth wide open) because it's inappropriate, she keeps doing, right in my face. I've tried everything and she just won't listen.
I'm quite strict, she doesn't get her own way, she's not spoilt. This is behaviour she's had since she was tiny, and nothing works. In every other way she's lovely. But she seems to have a thing about anything naughty, irritating or anything her mother doesn't like. She deliberately takes the other side when I talk about stuff (if I say 'I don't like this road, it's too bendy', she'll say 'I like it, I like bends'. Stuff like that, and worse, all the time.) She picks the most annoying things that the most annoying person does, and she does that thing all the time.
Any ideas?
