[quote=Anonymous]2-3 times per month my just turned 13yo DD has a meltdown before school over something. I am sure it’s a mix of hormones and being tired, but looking for tips on how to move past it quickly. This morning she got hysterical because the pants she wanted to wear had a stain on them. I calmly tried to help her pick another outfit and then she tried on 100 different things that “all looked horrible.” I was patient and never got frustrated, but it dragged on for too long so she missed the school bus and then I was late to work because I had to drive her to school. The last time it was her hair looking too frizzy, once it was because she wanted a frozen waffle for breakfast and we were all out. I know some of the emotions are out of her control but need to figure out how best to address this behavior without encouraging or enabling it.[/quote]
