So lets say there is this 5 year old girl..
she is a small desi-aunty to be precise…she will make mean comments…laugh it off when u ask her to do anything… would not listen to what you say…and keep fiddling around with wrong stuff…i.e Pressing Iron, Knives for cutting fruits etc, spilling shampoo n other stuff in the bathroom…making a mess on the floor…
how is one supposed to baby sit such a ‘creature’??
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
I'd hit her.

That would be quite a test but understand that all the kids are full of energy. Its only a myth that you put some cartoon on and kid would stay glued to the TV for next 3 hours.
In your case, I would not try to discipline the kid but rather distract her to more harmless activities like painting or wii
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman…
You never hit a kid .. never 
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
Repeat until she understands you are serious.
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
why not engage her in fun activity. Seems like she will only act out if she's bored and 5 year old need constant engagement. Something creative and fun.
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
Kids like that need to be engaged.
They require a bit more attention from the supervising adult than other children.
It would be a good idea to plan your time with this child if you are babysitting her.
Go in with a strategy and lots of activities.
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
First thing first: Never babysit if your house is not baby/kids safe.
Secondly, kids need attention. No matter if its desi kid or non-desi you have to get her involved into activities. You can not tell her to entertain herself that too when she is at new place (your place?)

We need to give a special medal to the parents who left their little angel under the supervision of Nomica.
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
take her to a kids playground and tire the devil out of her. then give her some warm milk and cookies and her blankie, and play some lullabies.
ps: i dont know any 5 yr olds, so don't listen to me.

Niki, visit childleash.com for an appropriate leash for her it will keep that sucker at bay.
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
threaten her that you will tell her teacher of her bad behavior in school.
Lol this actually works. I remember when I was younger this would get me to behave.
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman…
Okay. I’d tranquilise her. 
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman…
:k:
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
what does she likes to do? You need find something that is age appropriate and she likes to do. Rest, her behavior is her parents fault, the kid need boundaries and appears they were never set for her. so you might want to set boundaries for her when you are baby sitting.
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
Kids need attention!
If they get it by doing wrong stuff, they'll continue to do it and would not bother about the consequences as the objective of the exercise is met...
If you ignore her wrong doings and pay attention to good things she does, she will behave well and try to do all the good things this wins her the only thing she want and that is attention...
PS: it is not an easy job to control any kid unless you are a kid... mingle with them..otherwise they are always ready to test the boundaries...
Re: Baby Sitting a 5 year old woman...
You NEVER hit a kid, you wait for her parents to return and hit THEM instead.
