Hi, my brother is 10 and will be 11 in august. Anyway, my bro is so spoiled that when he doesnt get his way, he starts to get a nasty additude and says he hates my mom and grandma! How bad! My mom tries hard trying to teach him not to be spoiled but it never works. How can we get my bro to be kind and unspoiled?

Sw3eTi3_xO answered Sunday July 18 2004, 10:23 pm: It won't be hard!! You simply need to teach the boy discipline. Learn not to listen when the boy says "I hate you" and start grounding him and slowly taking things away, one at a time, every time he does it!! If this doesn't work, then maybe some family counseling?? [ Sw3eTi3_xO's advice column | Ask Sw3eTi3_xO A Question ]

good luck! L [ laurawx3's advice column | Ask laurawx3 A Question ]
Lizzy answered Sunday July 18 2004, 9:34 pm: The reason he is acting spoiled is because he feels that either he got attention and liked it, or he doesn't get enough attention. Either way, giving him a lot of spoiling attention won't do any good. Whenever he acts up, punish him. That is probably the major problem, make sure you know the kids he is hanging out with and stuff so he doesn't just go and act like them. I hoped i helped a little

sxyxbabii answered Sunday July 18 2004, 9:22 pm: well you can't really GET him to be unspoiled.. it probably going to take time because if he changes hes going to have to adjust to it you know?.. just like if you walk into a store tell him he can only get 1 thing or something and if he starts crying well tell him its too bad and hes grounded or stuff like that.. ground him for awhile and maybe it will teach him a lesson?? Good luck! [ sxyxbabii's advice column | Ask sxyxbabii A Question ]
charmed-cherry21 answered Sunday July 18 2004, 9:21 pm: You can't really teach people that. You could try sending him a guidence counselor or something but its usually just a phase that they grow out of....trust me I went through it and i still do it sometimes but rarely and im 13
XOXO
