What do u do when u have a bad kid that thinks he knows everything and argues about everything?

Question

What should u do with him or her if they stress u alot?

Answer 1

Stop calling him bad for starters. And then start taking things away from him that he likes.

Answer 2

First, you are the parent. Eventhough you know better than your son don't argue with him or her. No matter what their age is, you WILL ALWAYS BE OLDER than they are. Nine times out of ten, you've been where they are at. If your child is bad, you should discipline however you see fit; whether it's grounding them, taking away playstation, cable, mp3 etc.
The only way a bad a** kid thinks he/she knows everything is when he/she can prove it. When that happens hopefully he/she will have a job and their own place of residence. Maybe a good dose of a week in a boot camp so that he will appreciate his elders may do the trick.

Answer 3

Be gentle yet firm when you tell your kid that he/she must not argue with you or any grown ups as this is seen as being impolite. Then ask him, "would you like people to see you as a bad child?" 100% he/she will tell you that he/she is a good kid. End of her/his being smart alecky. Well sometimes they slip, just a constant reminder will do the trick.

Answer 4

The best advice I ever got as a parent was "Don't argue with children".

Tell him you are there for him 24/7 and you'll discuss anything he wants to talk about. But you won't debate with him and your word is not to be questioned. It is HARD to start but becomes easy very quickly. Your son will thank you, and you will thank yourself.

Answer 5

Make sure that you are the boss, if the kid is doing it and is at a young age and you don't get in charge they're gonna be a nightmare for the rest of your life. Personally I beat mine's butt and put him in a corner, a buddy of mine puts a dime between their nose and a door and if they let the dime fall (hands in pockets) they get spanked. All up to you.

Answer 6

My niece sometimes says I know to everything it really bugs me so I tell her calmly if knew everything I would not have to tell you you would just do it and do it properly I even tell her I am a adult I don't even know everything if I did I would have everything I wanted and accomplished everythig in life. There is also etiquette school which I plan to take my niece and nephew

Answer 7

my daughter is 5yrs old and she can throw fits! she was never like this until she started visiting her cousin about the same age. her cousin will throw fits to get what she wants at stores, any where! i was embarrassed when she actually did that with me and she's not my daughter. my daughter just looked at her like what is wrong with her? i think after realizing what she could get from making a scene she's started it too. it drives me crazy, but i don't let her know. i hold it all in until we get into the car or at home. she'll scream, kick, bite, cry, anything you could imagine. i told her" i don't care how bad you cry I'm not getting it for you. cry, cry, cry all you want my dear. with that attitude you are not getting anything" once we leave the store her attitude changes and she'll apologize and beg to go back. i love my little girl but she just drives me up the wall!

one day i told her lets go. she asked where we going? i told her you don't know? your driving me there... she looked puzzled and said where? i told her CRAZY!

she also has to end her conversations herself. you cant argue with her at all. if she has something to say she'll tell you. at dinner time i asked her to pass the salt and she told me "you have legs,you have arms!..." her dad was so mad he sent her to her room. she just speaks her mind no matter what, her attitude is just the same. we are worried of how she'll be once she's a teen.

i really don't know what to do but hopefully its all a phase.... i pray for you and your child and for me and mine. i pray we will make it through the day and tomorrow's =o) GOD BLESS!

Answer 8

I have a 9 year old that thinks she is grown. She has the worst mouth and has to whine and complain about everything! You've got to prove your point! Don't give in, and whatever you say stick to it. Eventually, hopefully, you'll get through who the boss is!

Answer 9

If it's really bad, give 'em the mattress treatment! Take everything out of his/her room, except the mattress.

This ought to remind them that YOU are the one in charge.

Kids hate this, but it works.

Answer 10

Therapy, could be an underlining problem that you are not aware of. If this were an adult you were describing I'd say it sounded like Bi-Polar Disorder (Manic Depression).
