Childrens behaviour are a reflection of their parents' behaviour. Dont tell/shout at her to stop speaking to you that way..show her how to speak and behave respectfully. If you dont demonstrate how to communicate well then she will just do what she sees. Julie has to change first before child will. She could benefit from doing a parenting programme like parents plus or something. It will show her how to parent positively and discipline positively. Grounding her clearly doesnt work. If her children do start to follow what she is asking it will be down to fear based parenting. Which has awful consequences when they become adults. Get the support now.
