DD is 10, yr 5 - does really good at school, keeps out of trouble etc but at home dear me what a temper - i am thinking hormones and i can cope with the rudeness. defiance and back chat but we have had a few instances lately where she has taken it out on her brother who is 6, i get younger brothers are annoying but this week after he allegedly crashed into ehr with his scooter she has dragged him to the ground where he bashed his chin to bleed and today because she wanted her pen back she grappled with him and then stabbed his arm with it (pen nib was in) so it left a round mark which has now faded. I have just had a chat abotu criminal responsibility and stopped a cinema trip today which obviously affects ds as well and me because frankly i was looking fwd to it. ANy tips or words of wisdom? Is this the norm? Am i goingt o have to turn into a CSI investigator? On the whole they do get on and more often than not she wants him to play with her.
