Yes, I'm sorry you are

I may be miss reading your post be it appears to me you are blaming the 6 year old.  It is not the 6 year old that is the problem here.   It is the parenting.  As young as she is and with out the influnce of another adult there is no reason you cannot fully parent this child.  She is doing what works for her.  If you don't like something she is doing then you need to change how you react to it.  Your the only mother this little girl has and she needs a mother that loves her unconditionally.   

  

I suggest you AND YOUR HUSBAND read the book  

How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too!

by Sal Severe 

Yes you are misreading my post.  Our parenting is NOT the problem.  We dont cuss, fight or anything in front of the kids.  We dont want them to learn that from home.  We dont drink or smoke.  I do fully parent this child, from taking her to girl scouts to her dance lessons, Dr's and am there when she is sick in the middle of the night.  As I said prior we both love her very much and all her needs are met, its just this one issue with her.  My husband and I are both college educated and professionals who put family first and know how to behave.  We have tried several different approaches when she acts the way she does to try to make her not act like that but it doesnt work.
