grandaughter
my grandaughters 8 yrs. old she gets sassy with everyone in family and troubles getting along with school kids. its like shes 13 in a 8 yrs body
I am a very sarcastic person and my daughter has greatly picked up on that. She is rude and saucy but not too bad. I blame myself because that is my personality and if she is in the wrong so am I.
I think the parents personalities go hand in hand with the child's personality. They learn from what they see and hear.
Just my opinion

mclay, I'm just exploring possibilities. You have written virtually nothing in your post, so it's hard to be helpful.
This kind of attitude she has can be genetic OR environmental. It's impossible to tell from your very brief question what's going on. I'm really trying to be helpful, honestly.

i myself was not a teenage mother. There are many ways for familys to develope. You should be more open minded less judgemental. We love her greatly and respect her greaty .
Looking at your age and her age, and doing the math, it sounds like there are two generations of teenage mothering here.
Children who have poor attitudes, no respect, and can't get along with peers won't be helped by being spanked or having their mouths washed out with soap. That won't help.
Someone needs to find out if she's being raised properly, with examples of respectful, respectable and appropriate social behavior that she can witness and copy.
If her mother and father, and their friends, and extended family usually act in a way that models good behavior, then you need to look elsewhere for the problem.
My guess, just based on what's typical in children who behave this way, is that she's not around a lot of people who show her how to act respectful towards one another.
But of course, not always. Sometimes the best of parents have a child who is out of control. But first, start by looking at the parents behavior and then go from there to solve this problem.
And don't bother with hitting the child or making her eat soap.

thank you for advice-i told my granddaughter she said she going to get her act toghther but i will give a swat on butt soap on tongue see how that works
My boy did the same thing to me, I washed his mouth out with soap. He had to sit in the kitchen, and hold a new unused bar of soap in his mouth for 5 minutes. He thinks before he speaks now.
