My 8 year old can be this way. Honestly I have no idea if this is considered gentle parenting or not but the only thing that worked with her was taking away her access to 90% of her toys. Took her about a week but she has a very different attitude now.

As to chores I did lists with them for a long time and my almost 11 year old is asking for one again since she is having a hard time keeping track of the things she does. We have daily chores and Saturday chores so they don’t have to think of the once a week things daily.

My 6 year old helps walk dishes after meal time to a sibling that is loading them in the dishwasher. She also helps with toy clean up 3 times a day. We clean up before lunch, dinner, and bed. (With homeschooling though it’s often a 2 min job for what little they get out while taking turns playing with the toddler during school.) She also puts her dirty clothes in the hamper but I don’t require that she hang her clean things up since that is hard due to her height. The only other things I can think of that she does on a daily basis is pick up her stuffed animals and make sure her books are put away.
