On holiday with DD (9). Her behaviour is appalling. She won't do as we ask/tell her to, shouts and is generally unpleasant to be around.
Everything takes about 10 times the time it should take: from getting a meal into her to getting her to have a shower or getting dressed.
I'm absolutely exhausted of repeating the same things: eat your food, get dressed and dragging her around.
She is in addition getting some weird obsessions about cleanliness and becoming ill. Makes me check her temperature 10 times a day,
She is a lovely child at school with no behavioural problem and good grades. But at home she's very, very difficult and puts the brakes on everything. She's always been a bit like that but this is becoming seriously worse.
Are your 9-year-olds the same? I've noticed the first signs of puberty on her body. Could it be the hormones kicking off?
Thank you.
