[quote=Anonymous]I would try to track if it is hormonal or related to sleep or eating or too much electronics. Push the exercise and healthy eating and time outdoors. Then bank some emotional time with her doing her preferred activities. I would ignore what you can, but I would call her out on outright disrespect and have immediate consequences. Short family meetings are good at this age to allow a preview of the week and let everyone feel heard. She needs to learn to verbalize feelings instead of using a rude tone of voice. A little community service that truly helps other will make her feel better about her place in the world. Do more listening than talking and ask her opinion on world events so you can have conversations that activate her intellect and not her emotions.[/quote]
