[quote=Anonymous]The moodiness is very typical for the age and has to do with the initial bursts of hormonal changes. Nail polish is completely age appropriate, and hanging out in her room listening to music sounds like me at that age, decades ago. You are going through a developmental stage along with your daughter in that you have to begin to learn how to pull back and let her grow up. Step by step she is going to start doing things that are not little girl-like. You will make yourself crazy if you fight this or feel unhappy about it and you run the risk of losing touch with her. A girl who knows her mother thinks painting her nails at 11 is somehow inappropriate will not confide in that mother when she's exposed to things that really are inappropriate.[/quote]
