advice on spitting

[sitb]

hi everyone. my daughter is 3 1/2 and recently her older sibling have taught her spitting (they will be outside and spit on the ground) well for the past few weeks if shes mad at us she will just start spitting on us, and now shes taken to spitting on her 2 month old brother when shes mad at us or not getting her way. we have put her in time out for it and doesnt work. how can i get her to stop spitting.

Stay firm and consistent about how you do not want her behaving a certain way.

at 3.5 yrs she is just starting to push her boundaries in life good luck!

One way that we did and still do is wen a child spit we bring her/him to the bathroom and tell the child that this is were we spit. You have to be consistant. Paranting is all about beeing consistant.
Hope this help..........

I agree with the above posters. Consistency is important. My son used to spit too when he was angry or for fun. We kept telling him firmly that this was not acceptable and if he has to spit, to go to the bathroom. He went to spit in the toilet a few times and would tell us when he did it, then after a few times he just stopped.
