[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is turning into a monster. She has a bad attitude on a daily basis. She’s incredibly disrespectful to me in particular. Is this a normal phase? How long does it last? What are tips for managing this?[/quote] Give her more responsibilities. She doesn't like your food? Let her make a shopping list, go gocery shopping and cook- even if it's something very basic. Then you and your family model appreciation when you eat it. She doesn't like her clothes? Give her a budget and let her shop for the season. She complains about her chores? Empathize and offer to switch chores with her when possible. We tend to treat 9 year olds as if they are 6. So they become entitled and ungrateful. [/quote]
