Adolescent Psychiatrist Questions Bad behavior

What should I do if my teen acts spoiled?

My daughter is 13 and her behavior is... very entitled. I think that's the right way to word it. I'm not sure what we can do to change her behavior, because she wasn't always like this. She's rude to both my and my husband, and acts like the world revolves around her. Grounding her doesn't work. What should we do to have her stop acting spoiled?

To some extent all teenagers become self involved as part of this period of development. Setting up a behavioral program focused on her earning points towards privileges for showing respect and consideration is much more effective than grounding. A behavioral therapist can help you set this up.
