I agree Veronica.  I don't ever assume my kids will grow out of something.  Yes their attitudes have changed over the years, but a lot of that has to do with the guidance from us, their parents.  They have to suffer consequences for their behavior.  I've had to get really creative with punishments for my son, such as making him run laps if he is not listening because he needs to get his energy out.  It sounds silly but it works.  In any case, their must be consequences.  Make the consequence fit the crime and stay consistent.

  I don't agree.  I am blind and my daughter never acted this way.  All
  children need to grow up to be respectful.   You have to gain their respect
  at a young age not assume that when they get older they will grow out of the
  nastiness.  It doesn't work that way.  If a nasty child when young then a
  nasty adult. V

  she'll grow out of this. I currently deal with this with my 8 and a  
  half year old daughter and I do everything humanly possible for her.

  it isn't an attention thing its a I'm a little kid and I got something  
  to use to my advantage thing.

  give it time, like a couple of years time.

  My boyfriend has no vision but my children do. He watches them 2 or 3  
  days a week sometimes for more then 8 hours a day.  My daughter who  
  will be 6 soon told him today that she does the things that she does  
  that are bad because he can't see her do them.  This hurt him very  
  much.  We are not sure what to do at this point and any advice would  
  be helpful.  I have tried spending extra time with her when I can and  
  giving her some positive attention.  This week we have swimming which  
  we always do together not only has a family but we each take some  
  individual time with both of the kids, we also are taking both the  
  kids to a carnival on friday and we are all going to the zoo on  
  saturday.  We really try to spend as much time as we can with them in  
  the positive and not sure why my daughter is lashing out so much  
  towards him in general.  When I am at home she doesn't do this and  
  when she is with her dad and his wife she doesn't do it either.  Just  
  with him.

  Jennifer and Dustin
