Kids at this age try to test the limits. They want to see what they can get away with. If you let her disrespect you then she will continue to do so. Let her know in no uncertain terms, that it is not acceptable behavior. I don't think that hitting her will do the trick. What would that teach her, that's okay for you not respect her but she has to respect you. Talk to her and tell her how her behavior makes you feel. Let her know that she is the child and you are the parent. If all else fails you can always ground her until she's 18.

13 years. She is just a kid. Give her some time. Be patient that is what your parents have done when you were of her age.
That is the age when kids start to think on their own. Give them the freedom. That is when they will realize what is good and what is not. If you keep hindering them they will never grow and when the time comes when they have to make some choices they will not be in a position to do the same.
Just keep a watch on them and dont force anything. If you do so I am sure it will go the opposite way you intended to. Better be patient and let them learn by examples.

I have a 13 year old and that has got to be the worst age for a girl! Her hormones are raging out of control. If she doesn't listen then take away some of those nice electronics she enjoys. Don't be above corporal punishment either. This too shall pass. Before we both lose our minds with these little girls, right?!

This might be tough but I feel there are two paths you should take: 1. Strict listening on your part, really pay attention to what she is saying and try to understand how she feels. 2. Strict guidance and rules at the same time. Make sure she understands the rules and the consequences for breaking the rules and then stick to it no matter how difficult it is.
These years will pass and you two will be friends again. Believe me, I lived through it twice.

Most kids that age are un appreciative of what they have,meaning loving parents,maybe find a way to show her less fortunate people or kids..like the homeless,handicapped,etc..Or tour a juvenile detention facility to remind her where rebel behavior can lead to..Her attitudes are natural for that age but they have to be shocked back into reality at times..good luck!

every teenager goes thru this.let it run its course. its going to become worse every year for the next three yrs. be patient but dont take crap. let her know that u understand that she is growing but everything has a limit. that way she will know not to disrespect you or take you for granted.
Be very careful b cos mishandling at this age can become irreparable for her life and ur relationship.
Dont worry it will all be ok and u can handle it perfectly well. Every mom does.
Good luck with ur brat to angel program.

I dont think that slapping her is exactly the proper approach , however going out and voulentering somehwere together might help remind her just how fortunate she really is ... otherwise there are programs that you can put her in .. you can get info from your local p.d. or child services offices , counceling might help too. I wish you the best of luck with your daughter

There's a way to solve that problem real easily. Let her know you're not putting up with her attitude and if she wants to see attitude, show her yours.

Well, seems to me it is just adolescence...Try to set up the rules TOGETHER with her and try to give her a lot of structure. Ask her why she react this way without judging her and let her find solutions herself. Tell her why this behavior isn't right, again without judging her...
I don't know if this is any help, but this is the way we learn to deal with this at school...(i'm studying for teacher)

Not a good start if she knows that u think she has "an attitude problem" is it.
She probably got it from u
