Getting ready for school , kids attitude

[Sockmonster23]

So this morning my daughter was being slow slow getting dressed, slow getting her hair done, well me doing it whilst she was moaning, When I said just hurry up please she screamed back ‘shut up will you mum ‘ she is 7 and not even a teenager yet! I said don’t talk to me like that please.

She isn’t always Like this but is getting more mouthy at times. Her friend speaks to her mum like this and I’ve heard it, Is it me or some kids quite cheeky today? I’m going to sit down and have a chat today about respecting me and how she talks to me. Anyone been through this! I know teenagers can be backchat my child is only 7 and already saying things like that.

Is she anxious about school maybe? Or would this happen if getting ready for a day out etc

My daughter is 13 and her attitude at 7 was way worse than now. She wasn’t alone, girls at 7 can be vile.
That being said, you’re doing the right thing to not accept it. Discuss it with her now and let her know poor attitude and behaviour comes with consequences.
I used to get her to write down 5 things that she feels needs improving about her behaviour and 5 things she wished that I might say or do that I don’t.
It then opened discussions but also made her think.
If she wrote down something like ‘stop nagging me to eat my breakfast’ we would then discuss that the time we need to leave the house isn’t moveable so therefore I won’t nag her if she can manage this herself, e.g. she needs to get up earlier/not watch tv whilst eating/have something to eat that she prefers etc.
Good luck and I know it sounds simple but give her the time to tell you her issues as well and actually listen without automatically dismissing things.

I find telling mine that your need to be dressed and ready to go by x' and not engaging in the nagging helps. They feel a bit more independent and I don't get bored of the sound of my own voice.
