Why does my 11year old sister think she knows it all?

Question

she has so much attitude recently especially since starting secondary school, always seems to talk back, why is this?

Answer 1

She is growing up. Her mental brain capacity has grown and she is now able to apply the things that she has learned from school, parents even you. Its a new thing for her, to be able to speak up knowing the understanding and logic behind it. But during this period of growth she is speaking as if she knows it to test it. She trusts you and is wanting to confirm the things that she has learned. Whats going to happen though is over time her thick outer shell of knowing she is right is going to be broken down by being wrong. Slowly breaking down her shell will allow her to grow more, understanding things better.

Its a pain in the ***, but its important for her.

Answer 2

B coz she went to secondary, known as the " big school" and she thinks she is 1 of the big girls but instead of hitting ur sis 9 don't knw if u do that just saying) try hitting her with words, say that erm........" stop being a cow, b coz u r the smallest in the school and u talk too much b coz if u keep on doing that i will make u regret like u never did b4 my foe! and i can ruin your life!" that kind of rubbish! or try being strict wih her and if she says anything, like she answers back and u SCREAMMMMMMMM.... and tell her to shut up n say u had enough! try being a 2nd mum 2 her! then she will understand! worked with my small sis n she is 12 yrs old n she got freaked out n ur sis is 11!

Answer 3

Puberty, working with yr 6 especially when coming to the end of the year, you really notice that they start to back chat and push boundries. With girls being 3 yrs more advanced than boys mentally and physically this attitude becomes worse, by year 7 there in bigger school, notice boys (especially older ones) so want to act and look older themselves and with peer pressure thrown in...we dont stand a chance lol

Answer 4

She's just trying to be like you. She, deep down, looks up to you and wants to be exactly like you. My youngest grand daughter treats her twin sisters the same way. Ever since she was an infant she always tried so much to be the same as them and she still does, however, since she began school she finally has her own friends.
Only your parents can put a stop to her back talking. They really need to address this issue with her and tell her to act her own age and stop trying to be something she's not.

Stay away from Cash Create and other survey Web sites!

It's a waste of time and will cause you unhappiness.

If you choose to get suckered in and sign up to take surveys and receive free trials considered you were warned. The minute you give them your credit card and personal information you have now opened your computer to unwanted cookies on your hard drive, annoying pop-up windows and if you are on a PC you open your computer to viruses that can wipe you out.

Answer 6

Because she is nearly a teenager and he rhormones are raging, so everything and everyone is now against her as far as she can see. Just be there try not to antagonise her. Try to treat her as a grown up as much as you can but point out she has to earn it and show responsibility. Also secondary school is scary and there is the whole trying to impress other.

Answer 7

it is that kids think it is cool to do it she will get put down by someone one day at school or at home she will soon get an attitude change but it isn mostly secondary school that does it kids want to be noticed and stand out from the crowd

Answer 8
