12year old arguing/boundaries

Our almost 12 year old DD is a proper handful recently... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Not a day goes by without either me or hubby telling her off to calm down, slow down, stop arguing... she is full of energy which is fine, loads of extra curricular, dancing etc takes care of that, but the constant answering back and arguing... We just can't deal w anymore!
If it's not the right pyjama pants are on her, we should help her and find the one that is comfy, (it's in her wardrobe, go and find yourself)

Anything to argue about she takes up, it seems that she is looking for it.
Our other DD is 14, never had problems like this so it's all very new

Help please

I can do remember that stage. My DSIL recommended Untangled by Lisa Damour and I'm so glad she did.

It really is a very useful book Wink
