[quote=Anonymous]My dd acted very stubborn and selfish as a way to hide her emotional state of being. She was very over emotional about EVERYTHING and coped by acting like she could care less and developed a f you attitude. Once I kinda figured this out I would approach her in a more open ended fashion. Whenever she would get really 'lippy" or rude I would give her a chance to redeem herself/confide in me by asking something like "OMG you seemed so stressed out, what kind of day did you have?" or "How did XYZ go today?" or "Whats going on with So&So?" It worked about 40 percent of the time, the other 60 I just got use to. Agreed with pp who said 12 to 14 is the brunt of it.[/quote]
