If the stuff about her dad is true, I'd imagine she does have low self-esteem and that she has no ideas about boundaries. Now, most 6 year olds are pretty annoying, but it sounds over the top for you. It sounds like she desparately needs you to guide her and love her. Primarily, she needs to be taught how to be human. Her self-esteem will improve if she develops skills, talents, interests that she becomes good at.
By the time dance class starts next year, she may have improved a great deal. Before the class starts, however, I would ask her for her input on how to handle things since she knows you, what your expectations of all students, including her, will be. Ask her opinion about lots of things, her advice. I'd also explain to her how important it will be for her, since you two know each other, to do what you need her to do, because you have to hold the class together. Telling her all this up front will help you avoid scolding her for things. She'll feel like an insider in something, which delights most everyone.
You are so young to have such a responsibility, but the whole direction of her life could depend on your being willing to go the extra mile for her. May instant karma repay you many times.

You must be a good role model, it sounds like it anyway. To answer your question, let her talk...When she talks about things that are not to be discussed you have to explain to her that it is not good to speak to strangers firstly, and explain why. The next time she receives a gift and does not say thank you, take it from her, and expalin why you have taken it. Keep taking the gift until she understands. Once she says thank you she keeps her gift. Esteem means to have value of ones self and at six years old she is still learning. Dance class might be just the remedy for her, it is more of a controlled environment.

that would not advise you would be a foul mom. I even have been quite aggravated by skill of alternative peoples infants incredibly in the event that they are not disciplined. I hate being around people who enable there infants run around enable do what ever they %. And overlook having to babysit a newborn that don't hear. My son gets on my nerves at cases yet what 2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous is suitable. i admire him greater desirable than something and that i think like i'm a great mom. it somewhat is standard for different peoples teenagers to get on your nerves. i think of each physique has had a concern some thing like yours. the place they have been around a newborn it is out of control wishing somebody might say some thing, and secretly desirous to safeguard it your self. My mom became into the form that should by no skill submit with any crap. My one buddy became into the main important brat at abode and can scream and not hear. yet whilst she became into at my abode she became into an attitude because of the fact my mom might save her in line. teenagers % discipline and without it they're out of control. You sound such as you would be a great mom. you already know teenagers % barriers and that's component of being a good discern.

This is the deal... Children crave structure and predictability.You need to not be afraid to set limits. Some things are appropriate and somethings aren't. She needs to get that message loud and clear. You will be doing her a favor. If she continues acting like this what will happen when she grows up and annoys others that don't care about her as much as you do?

You need to continue to correct her bad behavior. Punish her for bad behavior. Make her go in time-out for a few minutes. Reward good behavior. Be consistent with your punishment and rewarding or it wont work. I have a niece like that too and I know how annoying it can be. Just try to remain calm. Make games out of being quiet. Whoever is quiet the longest wins a prize. They also have books about Manners. Buy them and read them to her.

For a 6 year old to talk constantly is not uncommon. That said, you need to establish boundaries if it is irritating you. For example, set aside periods of time where she can talk to you and know she is getting your full attention. Then, when you are busy, or she is getting irritating, simply tell her that it isn't the right time. Remind her that she can't have ALL your time, and if she tries to take it, she will lose out on the time you have set aside.

THAT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR HER BECAUSE SHE GETS TO SEE EXACTLY HOW OTHER CHILREN INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER.... THAT IS WHAT SHE NEEDS TO LEARN.... I THINK SHE NEEDS TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER GRANDPARENTS ALSO..... NOT JUST YOU.... I THINK YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR LIFE TO RAISE A CHILD THAT IS NOT YOURS AND YOU HAVE BECOME ANGERED IN SOME RESPECTS BY BEING LEFT WITH HER ALL THE TIME... WHEN DO YOU GET TIME TO BE ALONE? WHEN DO YOU HAVE TIME TO HANG OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS? THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR DEVELOPMENT ALSO... AND THAT CHILD SAYS INAPPROPRIATE THINGS BECAUSE SHE HEARS INAPPROPRIATE THINGS.... FROM OTHER " ROLE MODELS" IN HER LIFE....ITS NOT YOUR JOB TO RAISE HER THOUGH KEEP THAT IN MIND... LIMIT YOU TIME WITH HER AND ALLOW HER PARENTS OR PARENT TO RAISE HER..... IF ALL ELSE FAILS THEN PUT HER FATHER ON WIFE SWAP OR NANNY 911 SOMETHING TO BRING EXPOSURE TO THE PROBLEM AND HAVE IT FIXED..... IF IT SHOULD BECOME REALLY BAD THEN CALL DR. PHIL......LOL......IF YOU WATCH THE CHILD LIMIT THE TIME AND DAYS.... REMEMBER WHEN GROWN UPS RAISE CHILDREN THEY ALWAYS GET A BREAK FROM SOMEONE..... JUST DON;T SWITCH PLACES THOUGH, WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR STARTING TO DO.... GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS
