Alexandre, most of the time it wouldn´t have a positive component in this case. I mean, it would have a ring that the people saying that is umcomfortable with the situation (and in a way blame it on the parents of the kid). Whereas in this previous answer I have given, it has a (or almost) "cute" component to it - or at least of "restless/energetic".


So, some likely translations with the words "brat/unruly" involved:
spoiled brat - criança mimada
unruly brat - piralho rebelde/desregrado/sem disciplina etc...

My suggestion> ''You're so na*ghty''
or you may use the word ''Wayward''

''You're so wayward!''
''He was a wayward kid!''
Wayward I never heard before, so I don't know, but na*ghty (I thought on it too) I think it's related to sexual/sensual things.
It would be "danada, safada".

Olá pessoal,

Uma vez um nativo me disse que hoje em dia ''na*ghty'' não é mais usado no sentido infantil da coisa, mas sim relacionado a coisas sexuais(na maior parte dos casos), vale lembrar que ele não fala por todos os nativos do idioma Inglês, não é uma verdade absoluta, mas eu particularmente, prefiro não usar esta palavra fora do contexto sexual, se quiser ficar do lado seguro da coisa, não a use também!

Para deixar uma contribução, talvez ''cheeky'' possa funcionar, porém vamos esperar mais respostas.

Valeus
Thinking a little more, the description (in English) would be like a jokking nautghy person (but without sexual meaning); joker/kidding + na*ghty (withou sexual purpose/meaning).
:D

Yeah, na*ghty has these two ''different meanings''. Thanks Daniel =)

- na*ghty (adjective)
When ​children are na*ghty, or ​their ​behaviour is na*ghty, they ​behave ​badly or do not do what they are told to do:
''Now that's na*ghty - don't ​throw ​food on the ​floor!''
Our ​boss ​treats us all like na*ghty ​children.

Or na*ghty-> ​involving or ​suggesting ​sex:
The ​film was ​shown on ​television but they ​cut out all the na*ghty ​scenes. <


I think ''cheeky'' is more like ''descarado'' ''atrevido'' ..

When talking about a child, for example, you can use the term "live wire". Meaning a child that likes to be part of the action, a child that seems like not turning off easily, they are very active, curious and full of energy. It can be said of adults as well, but kids fit that definition well.
By the way, some parents would say they are a handful !

The antonym of that would be "people/someone that have a quieter personality/subdued/shy/introvert, etc"
(among others).

Kate Middleton, was recently spotted chasing after her "live wire" son while taking in a polo match.

What about: spoiled/unruly/brat?
As mr. PPaulo himself suggested here in this link

Would it work with " pessoa sapeca" ?
What about a "sassy child "?

Sassy usually is a kid that is assertive, bold enough to talk back (replying rudely to their parents - in a way, mouthy, insolent). Referring to a young or adult it can be also one "with a lot of attitude". It could be also "descarado/a" or "atrevido/a" in a good sense.
Sassy clothes could be the same, but could "bold" and when talking about young or adult clothes it could be way much sassy!
Anyway, in general isn´t a negative or derogatory word.
Alexandre "na*ghty" could mean those words, but aren´t the first words that comes to one´s mind, because usually "brat/spoiled" has that ring of bad manners, of being someone that is given everything and is allowed to do everything he/she wants,...etc.
