You'd be surprised how much they understand. They know it's an act.
I'd also let her know that it was MY dog and I was the boss of who holds MY dog, and I didn't care how she cried.
You might just earn her respect cause evidently she doesn't respect her mother or her uncle, and probably not the grandparents either. |
I agree. My son is 10 and is high functioning autistic and I have never let him get away with anything like that. My niece is 12 and she has Aspergers which is a form of Autism but, she has never been displined, she talks back and says nasty things to my sister, and is so hateful. She doesn't do it with me or my mom because I immediately tell her I'm not her mom and I will not put up with her smart mouth and that she will be displined if I feel she needs to be. After that we are fine you can't give in to them you have to let them know who's boss. As far as the temper tantrums. I would just send her to her room until she got it out of her system and not pay any attention to her at all unless she try to hurt hersel or someone else.
I'm glad you little one seems to be doing better.
