[quote=Anonymous]I've never been a morning person. Our daughter is very much her father's daughter. She can be a total bitch some mornings, she's 14. But the frequency and intensity are both lower than before. With a 7 year old, I'd recommend talking to her about what [i][b]specific behaviors[/b][/i] could be changed. Obviously, have the conversations in the afternoon or evening or over weekends. Acknowledge that she's not a morning person, tell her that you hate mornings too (if true), and that's perfectly fine. Some people just are NOT morning people. However, some of her [b][i]specific behaviors[/i][/b] can be changed with work and practice. It'll take time, don't overreact when she's having a rough morning, but work with her on cutting down the bitchiness. She may never be a morning person. But she doesn't have to be a bitch about it. She's old enough to start making a conscious effort to change.[/quote]
