[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no advice, but my 12 year old DD is testy at least 75% of the time. It's exhausting. Puberty?? [/quote]

OP here! Yes she is exhausting! I have wondering about impending puberty. She is like a Jekyll/Hyde.

Thanks all for suggestions - I am going to implement them.

PS - no underlying issues of appearance,  [b]but they have always been competitive...always. It sucks[/b].[/quote]

I would advise you to work on helping them to not get to the point of being nasty about it. Some competition will exist but work towards them cheering each other on more than competing.

On the clothes, 9 and 12 yr olds will have similar styles now.  Maybe it's hard for your 12 yr old to see her little sister growing up some.

If you need a differentiation , maybe consider doing it by brand. My mom only let my older sister get certain brands and would say when you are 13 (or 16), I will buy that brand for you too.  I was about 5 yrs younger than my sister and my mom knew that on the day to day, I was still too young at times to really care about the brand and was just copying my sister.
