Reframe outings to the store or elsewhere as privileges. Now, you and I know that you probably have to take her, but you don't have to make that obvious.
If you're planning a trip to a new or different store, tell her well in advance. Explain that in order to go to this store with you, she'll need to act like a grown-up. That means no begging, no running around, no whining, dressing appropriately, etc. Is she willing to do that?
Of course, with the proper build-up, she'll agree ... |
She might, but I don't think this is a given at all and if it doesn't work for the OP I wouldn't want her to further think there's something outstandingly obnoxious about her daughter, because I don't think there is. It might work and it could be fun but my guess is at the moment, OP's DD will be doing exactly the opposite of whatever it seems OP wants her to do. So I'd save this for when the relationship's better overall.
