8 year old behaviour

Hi, I've come here as a last resort. My DD is 8 and she is turning into a nasty, hateful person!

She's nasty to her siblings, she's mouthy at home! At school she's actually ok and doing well but then she'll come home and say how she "hates so & so" bad mouths her friends and other people!

I'm reaching the end of my tether now and I need some advice on how to tackle this behaviour before she gets worse! I'm extremely worried!

She is my middle child with an older brother and younger sister. My oldest and youngest seem to have a better relationship with each other than they do with DD because she's always just mean to them.

She's always shouting, calling people names and shows no remorse or care what so ever if I try and talk to her about things that she's done wrong. What do I do?

Do you spend time with her?

Yes, I try and spend 1 on 1 time with all of them but it doesn't matter, it's lovely when we do something together but it doesn't last long before she's back to her old ways.

it seems like a sort of role-play

Threaten her with phone removal if she doesn't behave.
