I have a sister who is always stubborn and doesnt listen, what will change her?

Answer 1

Love, attention and sweet smile. Try it out. Dont be mad on her if she does tremendous mistakes but just smile and be with her. Bcoz I believe you too won't like to take orders, right? No one likes it, neither me. But if I need to make someone understand in my words I'll include my empathy with him/her. Not sympathy. So show your empathy to her but not your sympathy then things might be worst.

Answer 2

You say you have a sister who is stubborn and doesn't listen. Is she older or younger than you? The truth is there is nothing you can do to change anyone. Depending on her age, she might grow up and become a little more mature than she is now and she may realize that when you tell to do or not to do something it is for her own good and she will see that you are looking our for what is in her best interest. What you can do is talk to her about why she is so stubborn, maybe she is rebellious because she is looking for attention or maybe she just doesn't like to be told what to do.

I have an older sister and she was very bossy and would always call me stubborn and it's true I am stubborn, but it was only because when she would yell at me to do something i would retaliate by not doing it, just to prove to her that she didn't have the right to boss me around.

Answer 3

Marine Corp Boot Camp would change that in her - completely. I had a friend who was like that - and he always gave you an answer to your questions, whether he knew the real answer or not. After he went through boot camp, the change was miraculous. If asked a question he couldn't answer, he would actually use the words, "I don't know." Left us all staring with our mouths open.

Don't know if you could get your sister into the Marines, but you might look at how they go about that sort of thing.

Answer 4

There's certainly nothing you can say to change her. True change is going to have to come within. But it's going to take something really big to make her stop and say "Gee maybe I should listen every once in a while". If you are really creative, maybe you could set up a situation. I have a step-daughter like that, but I think she is past hope.

Answer 5

Who is it that she doesn't "listen" to? You? You're not her mom. I suspect she doesn't feel like you have the right to boss her around?

Your parents? Well, people go through a stage of rebellion. Some never grow out of it :-)

But as others have answered, she's her own person, and you should respect her for who she is, not take it on yourself to force her to be how you would prefer.

Answer 6

That some advantage you can take over your sisters..anyway she has to understand some day or other that her behaviour might irritate people..try talking to her explaining that this is going to harm her future if she s not going to change..

Answer 7

Nothing...and it's not your job to change her either. She is who she is...has every right to be who she is....and will probably grow up to be a strong confident woman. You do your thing and don't worry about your sister being different from you.

Answer 8

Nothing. It's just a phase you have to go with and deal with. You could try talking to her in a serious manner.

Answer 9

Give her prizes for doing stuff right.
Act nice if she does something wrong.
(Not saying this is the best advice, heck I'm not even gonna say this is good advice. Never tried it.)

Answer 10

You can't force change on another person - they have to want to change for themselves.
