In a few years she will be a young lady and do you want her to remember you as the "really mean cousin" who made her feel left out. She quite possibly will develop into a lovely person with many interesting hobbies and contacts that you might share and enjoy during your life time.

If you are older than her then it is your duty to show the child what is the right way to behave. Seriously you are talking about a 7 year old child, the operative word being CHILD!
You need to be a little kinder and so do your parents. If she was raised by grandparents, it is clear that the poor child already has not had a great start in life. The grandparents are probably doing the best they can and probably try to appease her all the time, because quite simply by the time one is old enough to be a grandparent, one really does not have the patience anymore to deal with young children.
Why don't you try to understand a little more about your cousin. She follows you around because she is needy. Because she is a CHILD she does not realize that she is annoying to you. Have a little compassion! Try to deal with her in a kind and mature way and explain things to her.

First of all, you have to remember that adults are not as nice as children are. You're learning how to have a a negative attitude towards your cousin because she is different from you. This is probably one of the reasons why the adults in your family have issues with one another. Since when does your cousin have to listen to you unless you've been put in charge of her? Even then, the adults are primarily responsible for "telling her what to do' - not you - unless you are babysitting.This happens between adults and probably between adults in your family too. If one person doesn't agree with everyone else, do everything they do, act like they do and go everywhere everyone else goes - that is not bad. That's just who they are and you need to accept that. If you don't like your cousin following you around, then you need to get other kids and adults to do some things with her too but don't get mean about it, it's not worth it. Family vacations don't happen very often although it probably seems like they last forever when you're on them. You might be better off just being nice to her and letting her follow you around. She won't be little forever and one day you'll probably hardly ever even see her anymore.

She's had a rough time and she's looking for a good role model. Show her kindness and how young ladies are supposed to behave and you'll be doing her a favor. She may seem arrogant and foolish, but it's probably just some tough shell she's putting on at this point... so try to set a good example... take her under your wing.... she's just looking for an older female to model herself after and she's hanging all over you because she admires you and thinks you're totally cool :)

A 7 YEAR OLD? Are you simple minded or just stupid?
To shun a 7 year old little girl is ludicrous and wrong. Your parents don't like her?
Sounds like your parents are just as mean and ugly toward little children as you are.
All you statements are so ridiculous, I don't even know where to start my ridicule of this level of ignorance toward an innocent child.
Just listen to yourself?
What do I do about an arrogant and foolish 7 year old?
You guide her, you mentor her, you reach out to her..........
I am completely taken aback at your total lack of concern for a mere child........................

Well get over it. Sike! She is doing it because she looks up to you. What you should try doing is invite her to do things with you. This will make her fill like she is wanted and i guarantee you her attitude will change. As far as her grandparents go, she probably fills like no one like her and that is a very bad feeling for a child. She is acting out because of that. She is trying to reach out to you. You should take that as a compliment. I know it can get annoying but explain to her that she can do things with you but you also need some time to do things by yourself.

maybe she just wants attention because no one gives her any....well anyways talk to her about how you feel by telling about me time
and read to her for about 15-30 minutes every day its not a lot of time
but with that attention she'll notice that people do care and she hopefully won't be so annoying
as for arrogant and foolish thing maybe its because she wants the attention
g2g any more qs please email me

sounds like she needs attention and is trying to get it from you, she is only lonely and acting up to try to make someone notice her. I don't know how old you are but, you should set an example for her, play a game with her, ride bikes, etc... just show her you care. good luck

grow up! She's probably picking up being arrogant from watching you. She's a child and looking for someone to look up to, yeah you're a great role model. I hope she sees you for what you really are and finds a different relative to love her.
