Daughter who has become moody

9 replies

Hi
I 2 daughters. An 11 year old and a 5 year old.
My 11 year old daughter has become soooooo moody and gives so much attitude. What can I do?
I have taken away all her things I.e phone, t.v etc and it doesn't seem to work...
My 5 year old thinks she can get away with talking to me with attitude. I do tell them off and discipline them both but then I think to myself I can't tell my 5 year old daughter off because she is only getting the attitude from her older sister..

Need some advice pleaseseeeeeSmile

I'm sorry to say I have no advice.. But I'm following as my 11 year old is the same! Nice to know you're alone though.

Well the removing of her stuff isn't working you need to reset, i would tell them both off yes the Lo is hearing it from her sister but it isn't fair to blame her for that as well as her own behaviour, she is probably hitting puberty , when she is giving you backchat remind her you are not rude to her so ask her why she is speaking to you like that?

@Namechangeforthis123
I'm glad I'm not alone. It's becoming to much now. I keep telling her I'm not your friend from school.
Craziest thing is I no she doesn't speak to her friends like that.

@Mrsjayy
Yes I totally understand what your saying but can I really blame it on puberty? Yes she is growing up but the amount of talks I've had with her about everything. And still it doesn't work

It's rubbish @jadey0885. My older Dd was never like this. She's moody but she's so down in the dumps all the time. It's obviously hormones but it's tough. The attitude is hard work too. I've recently installed an app on my phone and hers. It gives me the power to lock it.. Its been useful when she's been really awkward. I find with my Dd she needs loads of excersize. It helps with her mood and I'm the same, so I guess we know who she takes after. She does various classes after school and at a weekend. She's currently trampolining (yes in this weather!).
I don't know what else to suggest, does your Dd get enough sleep? Fresh air? I'm hoping it will pass and I'll have my sunny little girl back albeit a bit bigger and with more attitude!
Good luck xxx

@Namechangeforthis123
That's sounds cool. What app is that?
My daughter does loads of things, she does street dancing, after school clubs. And we also have a run around the park on weekends.

Thanks for the luck Hun... I hope all goes well for you too xxx

It's called family link. I don't use it maliciously, but it helps when I've asked for something that needs to be done and it hasn't been!. It basically turns a phone into a dumb phone. Phone calls and texts only. I set a bedtime and time limit on it too.
It must just be hormones. I think we just need to be consistent and remind and model how we want to spoken to.
It's a funny age. Suddenly surrounded by bigger kids at secondary yet not quite old enough to have the freedom that they want.
All the best x

Yes it can be blamed on puberty doesn't mean you have to put up with lip and attitude though,
