How can I control my six year old sister (she yells, screams, and throws projectiles)?

Question

From Monday to Thursday, every night, my mom goes to school, thus leaving me with my sister. She's six, and she is a pain in the butt. She yells, screams, throws objects at me, and keeps asking for popcorn when I say no. She doesn't know what no means!

My mom always spanks her for being bad when I tell her what has happened, and my sis doesn't learn her lesson! She even went to the doc for her behavior problem!

So what can I do to control her? I watch her from 1800 (6 PM) to 2100 (9 PM) and I can barely get sleep because of her.

I spank her myself as well, her bum, her arm, and her quads.

Well, I'm 12, and I already got enough problems. My mom expects me to make all As, I got too many crushes on my hands, and I can't get a break from her.

She even bugs me for trivial matters.

Answer 1

What about locking her in the closet? Can you let her watch some TV show or video she likes? Maybe she is posessed by an evil spirit, this is a possibility, however remote. If she is afraid of authority figures, tell her that if she's bad you'll call the police. Some people have done this when their kids have gone nutzoid. Ask your mom ahead of time if you can do this, because she might go ballistic herself. You really need a break from your sister, can't your mom find some one to give you a break? Is there anything that you can control her with, like tell her if she shuts up that you'll do something for her. Does she have no self control, like nothing you do can make her stop? If so she needs some professional psychological help, like a child psychologist. Good luck! How old are you anyway? This isn't good for you to have to go through this.

Is there someone at school, like a teacher you can talk to, or your doctor about this? Your mom seems to be putting a lot of pressure on you. You should be having fun being a kid, not being put in a pressure cooker like this.

First of all, it's tough that your mom makes you babysit, but you are doing a great thing for your family -- your mom will be able to support you guys a lot better once she gets through school, and you are doing a great job.

Second, you need a game plan. Pretend you are a teacher or a social director on a cruise boat. Plan out what will happen while you are in charge -- for example, have Sis help out with setting the table for dinner from 6 to 6:15. Have a nice dinner from 6:15 to 6:45. Have her help clean up from 6:45 to 7. If she has done a good job helping you, she gets to watch TV from 7:00 to 7:30. If not, she must have a time out. (I'll get to time outs at the end). Then she finishes the job, and gets TV time.

From 7:30 to 8, you plan a game or a walk -- preferably something fun that will get her tuckered out. If she co-operates, it's milk and popcorn time at 8. 8:15 to 8:30 is time to get ready for bed, and if she co-operates, she gets a story. If not, she goes in the room, in the dark, no story.

Time outs are where she has to sit on a chair or in her room, with no playing, for 10 minutes. (Use a kitchen timer) If she plays, you CALMLY take the toys away. If she gets out, you put her back. No yelling -- and don't even talk to her. She wants the attention.

You also need to reward her with lots of praise. If she's doing a good job, tell her so. If she does a great job, read her an extra story, or play an extra game with her. And remind her again at breakfast how good she was.

It's a lot like dog-training, to tell you the truth. If you can gentle your sister with kindness and treats, you and she will have a much better relationship than if you scare her with threats.

BTW, this schedule may not work out for you -- if she doesn't take a nap, she probably should be in bed by 7:30. Make sure she gets a lot of exercise after school so she's tired and wants to go to sleep at bedtime. Just before bedtime should be quiet things like snacks and reading.

Answer 3

Whatever you do, please do not hurt her. I do not know how old are you but remember that she is the kid and you are the teenager. It seems like your sister have some serious behavioral issues, you need to tell your mom to take her to a doctor about it because it can only get worst, trust me.

Since you have to watch her for two hours, try to prepare activities that will keep her really busy, you cal also rent a dvd with exercising, jumping and things like that and tired her out!

Answer 4

Why don't you spank her, she sounds like she doesn't learn from your mom. Make her hurt, not severly but enough for her to know that no means no. She needs to get in trouble for what she is doing and know that it's not right. Take matters into your own hands and just spank her butt.

Answer 6

I think that it is great of you to help your mother by taking care of your sister, but I can still give you a few suggestions.
1. You could compensate and hold her favorite possessions
until her behavior has improved.
2. You could put her on serious punishment with major restrictions by taking all her privileges away.
3. ( My favorite form of discipline) Spanking her by hand, belt, or switch(the most recommended utensil).

grab her and tape her to the wall....
