| Teary, angry, frustrated, etc. Is this a sign of her morphing into a beast or just puberty? Is there hope or am I doomed? |

| Yes! DD was that way especially the year before and the year to 1.5 years after it started. Hang on - it will pass. I spent a lot of time helping her understand that hormones and how they can make you feel. She almost always still has 1 major meltdown/angry episode 2 days before her period starts. She is almost 17 now. |

| Mine didn't have it at that age, but later on. I posted before that my DS has delayed puberty so maybe that is why his "attitude" started when he was almost 17. |

| Mine is! She is almost 10 and acts like a complete 2 year old sometimes. And yet, at other times, it's like a more mature, interesting, inquisitive and charming part of her personality is developing. I have an older DD who didn't really go through this (yet?) so I'm perplexed. But not alone I see. We are trying to help her regulate and teaching appropriate behavior when frustrated or angry b |

My mother said the worst year of her life was when I was 10.
And she was divorced twice.

| Yep I hear ya, my 9yr old is full of the puberty hormones, happy one minute then crying and feeling frustrated the next but cannot say why. I hear it starts calming down once periods start so they can't start soon enough in our house lol. |

| It's puberty, you're "DOOMED". It may help to try and find an outlet for her to vent her frustration. I was going through puberty at that age and I was a right monster. My mom said I went to bed one night and got taken over by the puberty monster lol. |

Yep. And now that she's started her period (she's 11), I can tell when she gets like this that it's actually PMS. Nothing like dealing with a 5 foot tall toddler.

| Nope. The month she turned 13 she spiraled out of control but it died down after that, and she's mostly back to herself. |
