My 10yr old daughter is rude, disrespectful and argues. Grounding don't work!
Question: Bet this grounding will.
Ground her 'from' her room till 8-9 in the evening for at least a week (2 better).
My daughter and I had the same problem that I felt was driving a huge wedge between us and I knew we needed a reality check.
She would do her homework while I cooked dinner and we started talking again. Afterwards, she'd help clean up and we'd play a game or watch a movie, go shopping, take a walk, whatever to help strengthen the bond between us again.
When you think about it, everything they do is in their room including the 'Leave me alone' attitude.

Take her to counseling, I know I did the same thing when I was that age.
You should rewind the clock about 9 years and start again.
Try taking her to a shelter or somewhere that she can see what people in need and suffering go through. Once she sees how bad some have it and how blessed she is maybe she'll gain perspective. Other than that you have some work to do to reverse who she has turned out to be.
Escalate.
Ground her, confiscate her Ipod or other treasured items, disconnect the TV cable, and take the door off of her bedroom.
Have you tried spanking? That worked for my kids.
Spanking worked on me.
Couldn't even think of disrespecting my parents....
shoudlnt you ask this in parenting?
Beat her ***. That is what worked for me. Never disrespected my parents again.
when she is mad let her cool down then talk to her. if that doesnt work then cosider taking away her computer time or ipod. and if that doesnt work family counseling is the best advice i could give to you.
I think see needs to see a psychologist specialized in trouble children, she has to know that if corrective measures at home are no good corrective institutions can do the trick, believe me when my mom told me that i became a more docile teen.
SLap her and she`ll get the idea
yeah every time she disrespects you take away something thats important ... like tv privlages or computer and if shes still rude give her some soap in her mouth i watched my mom do that to my brother when he swore at her :P
Take away I Pod, computer, TV, phone, going to places after school, and take her door off the wall. Keep her in the house ALL day except when she goes to school. Make her do chores, dishes, vacum, etc. When she doesn't do it smack her butt. (It may sound childish but she is acting like a CHILD, a 2 year old!)
tell her how much she hurts you and how she makes you feel and then completely ignore her until she cracks, and she will.
reverse psychology seems to work wonders with kids.
my mum did it with me and my sister
Take away her favorite things. She can only get them back if she is good.
Stick to your word and stand your ground.
