HELP!!10 yr old girl with attitude!!

[chickensaresafehere]

My dd1,10 & a half,has such an attitude.I was never this bad when I was her age.
What are your 10 yr old dd's like & do you have any tips on dealing with them??

I think they're all at it. My DD is the same age. She's not allowed to get away with it, but on the other hand, I give her lots of praise when she is being thoughtful and considerate, to try and balance it out. Some of her friends are dreadful though, the way they speak to their parents. They're all falling out with each other as well, DD has been in floods of tears over friendships!

I know!!It needs to be nipped in the bud now,or else I'll have big trouble in a few years time.
When did the teenager years start so early?Is it just a sign of the times,do you think?

I think children are maturing earlier, generally, perhaps due in part to good and plentiful food?

I think dd is a nicer child than I was.

My DD is 10 3/4. She can be a bit arsey sometimes but by and large she is lovely, if totally unable to actually do anything useful like hang clothes up, tidy up, load the dishwasher etc. I have just noticed that she is developing empathy, which I understand starts to happen around this age. It takes the form of feeling sorry for me

My DD is 10 1/2. I too, cannot believe her 'mood swings'. TBH i am really struggling with her at the moment. her group of friends are always falling out with each other, she wants to hang around with people whos she thinks are 'cool'(but are not!)

She has a tantrum over the slightest issue. I try to remain consistent, make it clear that bad behaviour will not be accepted etc

I thought the preschool years were hard!

I want her to read anne of green gables not Cathy cassidy!

I agree they are growing up muchyounger now, so sad.

Any advice?

Same here.
I am finding her bad days so very very hard. But her good days are brilliant.
Shame the bad are more than the good!

Mine spent half an hour this morning sobbing because she had to do a drawing of a famous person like Andy Warhol's picture of Marilyn Monroe, and she said what she had done was rubbish.

This morning she slammed a door and I asked if she was ok?
She screamed at me so I asked if she was in a mood?
Tears and a bit of hysterically running around.

5 mins later cuddle and rode to school.
Its like the exorcist I tell you!

Horid day yesterday with my 12yr old DD, everytime in same room it seemed to end up in an arguement, SO moody recently. Friendships very erratic, some friends starting smoking but at least she's very anti that.Other days are great, like she was fine this am (neither mentioning yesterday).
Seems i am not alone.

You are never alone with pre teenage girls
