How can I get my 5 year old neice to act like the little adult that she needs to be?

Answer 1

Let her be the kid she needs to be first

Answer 2

The little adult she needs to be? What? She's 5. Let her be a kid and enjoy her childhood. She only gets to be a kid for a few years, then she'll have the rest of her life to act like an adult. Besides, its not your concern. You're not the parent

Answer 3

A 5 year old doesn't need to act like an adult. Let her enjoy the time she has as a child. When she gets older she will mature.

Answer 4

At 5 years old she doesn't need to be a "little" adult. At 5 years old she should be playing at the park, coloring, drawing, dancing, singing, running, and whatever else she wants to be doing. Like everyone else is saying you only are 5 once let her be 5 and you only get to be a kid once so let her enjoy it.

Answer 5

DON'T!!! Let your 5 years old niece be a kid. Childhood only lasts for a short time. She has all the time in the world to be an adult. In fact, girls who grow up too fast are usually the ones to start having sex as early as 11 and getting pregnant as early as 12. You don't want THAT to happen....DO YOU??!!!!

Answer 6

she is 5...how often does she have to act like an adult

Answer 7

You wont because she's a kid...let kids be kids. She's only five, let her enjoy her childhood and life. You don't want to be the one who takes away her childlike innocence and love.

Answer 8

Be patient. In a few years it'll fall into place.

Answer 9

Let her be a kid first. They're already made to grow up too fast.

Answer 10

You are only 5 once - be patient!
