My son is 4 he is a great boy my husband and I have raised him with respect but every time he gets around my sisters 6 year old girl he takes on her nasty sassy attitude then is almost uncontroble for days. I cant keep him away from her because they live with my mother if we want to see grandma we have to see her too. How do I teach him how to act properly like he used to and not act loike her?

U take a leather belt & spank that little rear end. Your his parent. Show some discipline & teach him some manners. If the family unit (that is all but gone) doesn't do a U turn this country is going down hill. U need to be a disciplined parent & stop being their pals or friends cause I don't want to heart their feelings. You need to teach them manors & to respect all people. The truth is not always pretty. I hope U take this as it was meant. I hope this helps U or at least give U something to think About.

U know what..all this talking to the baby b4 he goes 2 grandma's house n this time-out stuff is played out (my opinion) but i agree w/Blues Man! I couldn't have said it better myself..u can talk 2 ur kids, n warn them..but if it ain't gettin thru n u KNOW they know how to act..u gottat tag their butts! It is not child abuse..that belt still got the power if u use it..that's y it's a bunch of bad little kids runnin around 2day, talkin back to their parents with know shame because they're not gettin their booties beat at the house..all u gotta do is start poppin upside the head a few good times..oh, believe me, he will get the message..if u continue 2 let him do that, he's gonna start walkin all over u..if another child acts bad, he gotta have in his head that he better not act like that..that's YOUR child..he's gonna keep testin u til u knuckle down..I'm tellin u, ppl just need to start beatin their kids butts with those belts..if u don't, they head for the worse, i'm tellin..he's around that age where u need 2 be carrying a belt or a switch around w/u..his "warning" is u showing that belt or that switch in his face..when u do that, he know u mean business..he ain't gonna b cuttin up because he don't wanna get his behind tagged..discipline.......discipline........!

Is she the only other child he sees. Have any neighbor friends or preschool classmates. If this is the only kid he ever sees and interacts with, that is all he is learning how to act. Find him some little buddies that share the same things and then explain to him that cousin is NOT how we behave. But then remember, no matter how much you try to raise a boy to learn and accept the rules, they are boys with a LOT of energy and mischeviousness born into them.

Your son is old enough discipline and to talk to.
Nip the problem in the bud! Give him a warning before he goes to Grandma's house. Let him know that he will not be allowed to go there if he comes back being loud and sassy like last time. If he somes home mimicing the bad behavior....point it out quickly and give him time out for each separate infraction. He needs to know that you are seriously watching his behavior.
the only other alternative is to supervise their playtime and point out her inappropriate talk when she does it.
"We don't use sassy words at our house. Please don't talk like that around Jake." "Please don't speak to Jake in that tone. If you do, he won't be able to come here again." Be prepared to follow up on your threat.
If you can't supervise their time or get your neice to comply, then you might have to consider just inviting your mother to your home.

thats a tough one. try talking to her mother asking her to help teach your son not to behave like that. can you talk to the girl? sometimes that helps. the only other thing is to keep correcting your son while there and at home. praise him when he behaves the way you want him to. explain to him that even though others may act in ways you dont approve you expect him to follow your rules. he is your son and you love him but you dont like the way he behaves with those visits. kids are smarter than people credit them. be consistant . he will learn and you can tell him you are proud of him for behaving well.

he sounds like a typical kid.......if left unattended with this problem child of your sisters, this will happen. Try to get the kids to play a fun game with you in a quiet room while you are at grandmas...sounds like she needs to learn a little respect, and attention.......your son is fine.....he is just testing your boundries, and especially with grandma around..kids will do that, especially if one gets away with it, the other will try......take both of them out of the house to do something...go to the park or the kids museum, and show them both together rules to obey

keep your son away from her .His mind is a sponge. my son does the same, except he copies what his verbally abusive dad says to me and repeats it to his own sisters. I'm worried about how my son will grow up some day and treat women......

simply take your son and tell him how important it is to behave like a gentlemen and rewards are a good way of letting you child kno that if he acts acceptibly then he looks forward to gettin a small prize
something small that he likes
legos
few peieces of candy

kids will do this. He may look up to her and thinks that this is the way he should act. Tell him about it
