I think that what we feel to be "correct" behavior comes from our life experience. Something a child has so little of. You didn't go anywhere wrong as a mama, you're both learning how to get through these times together. Sometimes it's just a little harder than others. It sounds like being at home is her safe place. A place where she can let it all out and not have to pretend that everything is okay. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's okay to be disrespctful. We've been dealing with a 10-year-old sassy mouth/attitude on a daily basis. I too am beside myself. What did I do wrong and how do I correct it? When she gets truly upset I tell her her room is her place to chill. She can get a yell out (one good ahhhhh) and cry all she wants, but I don't want to hear it so her door must be shut. Alexa has found, on her own, that writing works for her. Many times after an argument between the two of us she'll come back out with a note, reflecting on the situation. Her way of calming down is to have some quiet time and write. Bella will find her own, constructive way, to handle her stress. And she has great parents to lead her down the right path.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325537320365343056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719009733724320496.post-72001108518689376382011-02-16T01:04:55.479-08:002011-02-16T01:04:55.479-08:00I think this just might be who she is. On one han...I think this just might be who she is. On one hand you should feel good knowing that she comes home & lets it all out, like she is comfortable & that is where she knows she can be herself. My Amira is like that. A perfect angel somewhere & then BAM a nightmare for no reason? Aziza is completely different... no matter where she is she just completely melts down if something doesn't go her way. I wish I had the answers. This mom gig is really REALLY hard work!Myyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248342096609316500noreply@blogger.com
