8 year old blues

My daughter is 8 and currently being very difficult in the sense where her behaviour at home and school is becoming too much. She’s constantly talking back, constantly having mood swings and her teacher is coming out telling me this is happening at school too. Time and time again we talk about our feelings and if anything is wrong that might be making her feel this way and her only answer is that she doesn’t want to go to school and learn because it’s boring and she wants to be little again. We’ve never ever had concerns about her behaviour but just recently it’s getting to a point where I’m struggling. She still wakes in the night and will call out for me and in the mornings she wakes up doing the same until someone comes into her. We’ve tried taking computer time away and other privileges and pocket money but it doesn’t seem to sink in.
If anyone has any suggestions of where to start that would be great thanks

OP I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm afraid I don't have any advice, I'm going through similar - so hoping someone else will come by with good advice.

Sounds strange.. but could it be hormones kicking in? I started my periods at 9 so it’s not impossible?

She is telling you there’s something wrong.
Can you discuss with her teachers-ask for a private in person Meeting and find out whats going on. I suspect some unpleasantness at school.
