A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

3 things happened today with my sister 5 year old lives with me and my girlfriend for personal reasons.

1) I got an angry call from my sister's teacher saying she call a dark skinned girl the and word. Her teacher said she went home in tears and her parents are threatening to sue the school.

2) My girlfriend caught my sister playing with matches. And when she took them away from her she (my sis) call her a slut and hope I leave her for someone with brain cells. Again another girl was in tears.

3) I took her grocery shopping and she wanted cookies, I told her no because of my girlfriend and the girl at school and she put them in my gf's bag. When we were about to leave, her bag beeped and a bunch of security guards asked her a millon questions. Then they almost called the cops on her until a witness told them that my sis tried to shop lift. They let her (my gf) off with a warning. I just don't know what to do any more. help!

Sorry for making so long.

Yes, that supernanny show is great for ideas, and makes life much better. If she knows you truly care/love her, your rules/teachings And consequences are for her own good. It might be a good idea to get her involved in a girls group once a week. Usually Wednesday nights have good church groups for all ages. She will be taught good lessons from good moms. By the way, your an Awesome brother to be taking caring of your sister!

Where has she learned these words?!

Do you say them? Or do you allow her to watch tv too late at night? There is no way that a 5 year old learns that kind of language and insults out of no where.

You need to sit her down and talk to her. Find out where she learned these words and tell her how bad it is of her to say them.

Then you need to figure out a punishment regime and stick to it. Try putting her in the corner for 5 minutes. (Do you watch Supernanny? You should - it will teach you a lot.)

She's acting up because of something. She needs stability, routine and no access to anyone who teaches her that kind of language. Be calm and work with her. She will be a good kids if you put the effort in.

Good Luck!! xx

It sounds like you need to sit down and have a long talk with her. Dont just say she did something bad ask her why she did it, and try to get to the bottom of it. But this isnt something that can just be swept under the rug. Just have you and your gf and your sister all sit down together and talk. And maybe you should make some changes, as in grounding her...no tv early bed time etc...
