Hi. I have a 9yo (10 in January) daughter who I seem to be constantly battling with. I also have an 8yo son who seems to get caught up in it all too. It's often over small things but it is also often over consistent things such as not flushing the toilet, not cleaning her teeth before school, sneaking sweets and chocolate when she has had plenty to eat already and hiding them in her room, being constantly on her tablet from the minute we get home or straightaway after meals.
I often feel at my wits end and it has reduced me to tears on several occasions. The outbursts can come from nowhere and over nothing but it ends up with her screaming back at me at every word I say.
I have told both my children that tablet-time is being limited to an hour a day from now on but I just don't know how to tackle the attitude problem. She is very well behaved at school and dance classes (or at least I haven't heard of any bad behaviours) so any suggestions would be most welcome.
