I know that clearly everyone is different, but my friends who had moody 8 yrs olds now have nice 16 yr olds who seem to have got through it. On the other hand I had an adorable 8 yr old who would now put Kevin & Perry to shame at 16 yrs old, argh!!

Your 8 year old could be the sweetest child in the world but he's guaranteed to be moody as a teen. Its part of growing up! Just make sure you love him and look after him and teach him manners and right from wrong and it'll turn out OK in the end.

I hope not!!! I always tell people I have a 9 year old teenager. My son acts moody a lot. Most of the time I can get him out of it, but he still has days were nothing helps. I can only hope!!!

not necessarily,'but if they are that way now
it can only get worse
just about all teenagers are worse than they were when they were younger...sorry people, but it is true..
and one day something HITS them ( no not me) and they seem to wake up and be nice again....some older than others, I do not know if it is the opposite sex that changes their ways of talking and acting or what, but they do change one day for the better, well at least most do...
but as teenagers they have many more things you can hold over their heads and take away from them...
parents still have some power...
there are a lot of good paper back books out there on dealing with teenagers and what they are thinking.I advise you all to at least go to the library and get two of them...
good luck

No. My daughter grew out of it after about 18 months but they were such bad mood swings that I'm really dreading the teen years. I'm sure they will come back with vengeance!! Especially when the hormones kick in... Is your 8 year old a boy or girl?

I have a 7 year old boy. I've wondered this myself.
However, I do think that if we assume the answer is yes, we are giving up on them. I think we owe it to our child (and everyone around him LOL) to keep trying. Its our responsibility to get to the bottom of the issue, and do our best to resolve it.
In some cases though, I do believe this is just part of some personalities. I'm just not willing to give up so early in the game....
Good luck, and hang in there!

This in all probability is with regards to the toddler? Is it a boy or a woman? Or do you no longer be attentive to? If it somewhat is a boy, she could be unhappy through fact she needed a sister. If it somewhat is a woman, she could be unhappy through fact she had to be the only female, or maybe she needed a toddler brother. in case you don't be attentive to the gender, then in line with probability she only does not desire yet another sibling. there is obviously no longer something you're able to do approximately that, yet as quickly as the toddler comes she'll take exhilaration in helping out, and are available to like it. i'm watching for too (yet no longer everywhere close to Monday, lol) and that i don't be attentive to how my 7 12 months previous daughter will sense approximately it. i theory in the beginning up she would be excited, yet in line with probability quite she'll be overwhelmed! one element that i will do is this, and perchance you're able to do it too! Does your daughter like getting interest? (in all probability, maximum babies do! i be attentive to mine does!) carry the toddler (whilst it somewhat is a million-3 months previous) to her college once you p.c.. her up. the two carry it yet stand on the edge of her, or (in case you be attentive to that she's able to conserving a toddler without dropping it) permit her carry it for basically a speedy whilst. Her friends will come over and talk approximately how lovable the toddler is. She'll love that. On yet another observe, did she lose the sweetness opposition? which could be between the justifications why she's like this. in case you desire to do yet another, make constructive she's very prepared, perchance regardless of a contest coach, so she'll do properly. (yet i'm tremendously constructive her moodyness is with regards to the toddler). stable success and Congrats!

Good question but one you won't need to worry about too much. 8 year old boys will be moody just as 8 year old girls will be.
It's all part of parenting I'm afraid

everyone is different
has anyone tried to get to the bottom of the problem? talked with the boy? been there for him to talk to?
it is entirely possible for him to carry whatever it is with him to his teenage years and beyond, if no one takes the time or puts in the effort to help him sort out what's going on.
