What works in my house is a tactic called "disengagement".

The idea is to not to respond the your daughter's behaviour. When the game starts, just change the rules by not responding. Simply carry on as if your daughter had greeted you with a big smile and a hug. It will drive her CRAZY!

Things will get a bit rough at first but eventually she will start playing by the new rules.

I have had to do the same with my daughter. I took a whatever attitude. My friend has a daughter the same age as mine and I would swear by their actions they are sisters. I am currently coaching my friend in the whatever attitude since her daughter is making her miserable. I think it may just be this spoiled generation.
I refuse to let my daughter make my life miserable.
