[quote=Anonymous]Could it be that there's too much structure and too many boundaries? I have a 'difficult' 10 year old and she is a lot easier to cope with when we give her plenty of time to relax and lots of chances to make choices. She gets tired very easily. There are a lot of growth spurts at this age. Getting as much sleep as possible is important. Also, they need some control over their life. Is she allowed to make her own decisions on some things? Perhaps you need to experiment with ways of interacting with her. My two kids are very different - one responds well to structure and boundaries, the other really doesn't. Well, good luck![/quote]
