[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s the onset of hormones and also possibly not enough sleep due to the hormone changes. I’d try the usual things of more sleep, less screen time, healthy food, and time outdoors.

School is more demanding at this point of the year for this age, they are more aware of what is going on in the world, and social issues with peers at school get more complicated.

They are beginning to pull away from parents, yet crave safety and closeness.

I’d also keep in mind that peers may have phones and access to stuff online that is too much and your child could be exposed to this through peers.

I’d try to spend time with her one on one, just doing something fun like getting ice cream, following her lead, and being present. Use active listening. When she’s calm, I’d talk about how she is at an exciting but tough age, and I’d reiterate family rules about politeness and respect.

If she is cranky about things like being asked to clear the tables, I’d mildly say that I’m sorry that feels like too much, but it will just take a minute. [/quote]
