I am a single mom of a brilliant 10 year old girl (11 in February).
She has no problems in school, the only issue she has really ever had was talking too much. She hasn't always gotten along with her classmates, she's very bossy and likes to be in control of all situations. Which is what she does at home as well. She is very disrespectful to me. Now, it's never what she says but how she says it. Her tone is horrible! there are times when we have so much fun together I just soak it all up because I never know when her attitude towards me is going Occupational Therapist (OT) change. I would like to blame this on her age becoming a pre-teen but she's always been like this. I just need some advice on what to do to get her to understand that this is unexceptable behavior. I've tried talking to her & being her "friend" but I simply do not know what in the world she needs. Therapist to talk to? A friend outside the life her & I have together to talk to? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you~
