[QUOTE="Tara4us, post: 575070"] Hi, I am new here and a have a 11 yr old son and almost 10 yr old daughter. For the past year my daughters behaviours have become rather concerning. She keeps saying she cant wait to be a teenager (she's fixed on the age 15yrs), when I ask why she say's its a cool age......Im presuming this is coming from the Disney shows eg: Hannah montanna, wizards of Waverley place etc. She has a tendency to lie and deny things and you can have all the proof in the world and she will still stand there and lie and deny! She does just take things around the house (ie: goes into my room and takes what she wants, her bro's room and food).
