I've been worrying about my Dds behaviours and mood swings for a while and just heard about "adrenarche" (lots more info on Google and it seems relevant to boys & girls)
It's massively reassured me but I can't find much on:
- how to deal with it? I.e. now I know the likely root cause I'm more sympathetic but does this mean I should cut her some slack? Or is it important she knows it's not appropriate to take her feelings out on others and that there are consequences?
And
- how long does this phase typically last? Please tell me it's not long 🙏🏼
Until 6 months ago I had the happiest bubbly most social Dd, how seems to have changed overnight! Obviously I want to support her as much as I possibly can but I don't want to be too soft and make too many allowances
