My daughter Raya is 4 years old. My whole world in one little person. :) But lately she has one of the worst attitudes ever! She back talks, is mouthy all the time. No matter what I say I'm wrong an she is right. I knew that this would happen but usually not til pre-teen years right? Is it just going to get worse?? I'm at my witts end honestly!
Need help before I go crazy lol

OK I hear what you are saying here. Put some rules into place now to make raising her easier later. Sit her down and talk to her about respect and that she needs to show you some respect to get respect back. Tell her that people sometimes do not agree about things and there is nothing wrong with that but if you ask her to do something then she should do it without being rude. She is 4 and will understand what you are saying. She needs to learn that there is nothing wrong with expressing an opinion but she is not always right and until she is older she should listen to mum as you know what is best for her. When things start to get out of hand just stop her in her tracks and talk about respect again. If you do not get this point across now then you are going to have trouble later. It is a part of the growing up process but you need to have control of the situation. Let her decision make on other things like what she wears, give her a choice of two out fits. What programme she watches on the tv and a choice of fun activities. Compromise where you can to show her that you are willing to meet her half way. Good Luck I think you have a strong willed daughter on your hands here! Nothing wrong with that she just needs guidance.
