[quote=Anonymous]She has gone from being a little girl playing to a girl who paints her nails, flings her hair, and hangs out in her room listening to music. I am at a loss, she just seems so young to be acting this way? And sullen at times too! I'm guessing it is her friends she has at school or watching the older girls. It's making me really blue to think she is this secretive tween now. We are in a wonderful diverse community with a great school and I'm just not prepared for this yet. Any advice? both on how to give her some space to let her try out little personas but on also how to keep her on a good path focused more on academics than surface beauty/clothing/etc. (and no this is not behavior modelled at home, we are way behind on the trends, so she is not getting it from us).
