My friend throws fits to get her own way?

[Jessica]

My friend Kera is 17 and throws fits to get her own way. When someone tells her no she jumps up and down. When she is asked to do something she throws a fit. What should her mom do to stop it?

[Faith In God]

As long as everyone around her continues to give into her fits she will continue to do them. It's better to stop giving into her now because once she is out in the world. She will find she won't get her way no matter how many fits she throws. Then she will have a cold harsh reality to deal with.

Unfortunately her mom should have done something to stop this behavior when she was a very small child.
People can not give into this behavior.
She does it because it works for her.
If people no longer reinforce the behavior, hopefully, gradually she will realize it no longer works for her.

She needs to grow up, and relise shes being a complete as$ hole, and probley making a fool of herself.

We only do what works for us. If throwing fits no longer gets her what she wants - she will have to find some other way. Adults generally negotiate - I'll guess that she has been doing this since she was a child and has never lost. Stop giving in to what she wants. Not even if the fits last twice as long.

If she is going to act like a 4 year old, she should be spanked like a 4 year old.
