I need some advice. I have a sibling set of girls ages 6 and 3.5. They aren't horrid but, attitudes, meanness, and mouthy-ness is getting worse day by day. Here are some examples.
4yr old - I was reading stories before nap today. Dcg was rolling on floor and poking someone else. I told her to stop. Her response was "I'm not talking to you" she then went on to do it again. I moved her to a different spot away from others. She then choose to lick the wall. WTH?? At that point I moved her again and ignored the rest of her behavior.
6yr old - Is constantly correcting every word that comes out the other children's mouths. It doesn't matter what they say she ALWAYS has some rude remark to say back. I feel (more so this week) that I am constantly telling her to use her nice words, nice voice and explaining that her friends don't like the way she talks to them. Today, while cleaning up toys she grabbed dd by the arms and shook her, telling her that she needed to "move it". It wasn't said in a nice tone at all. I was in the room and saw the ending of all this. DCG flat out denied the whole thing happened. When I told her I saw it, she told me I didn't know what I saw. At rest time, she laid on her cot humming VERY loudly. I told her to stop three times. Each time she denied doing it.
Seriously, I am ready to blow a gasket. I would like to talk to their mother about the behavior. Just not sure how to approach her. The children RUN her. There doesn't seem to be many rules at home so I know coming here is different however, they have been here since March.
Please help me!
