She has recently started to lie to me and to her teachers, refuses to do homework during the time allotted at home. Is constantly talking back with tons of NOs (I feel she's 2 again!) and pushing me to the limit every day. What's going on? Family and school are the same, no big changes in her environment. She is turning 7 this month.

It may be that she is establishing boundaries. I remember going through all sorts of attitude changes as a child. She has reached a level of general understanding and you should sit her down and discuss it with her. Sit her down and say that you love her and want her to be happy but she's been acting up and it upsets you. Communication is the key to any successful relationship and is vital for children and parents to bond.You may find out that it's something as silly as a falling out with a friend at school or something. Bear in mind that what may seem insignificant to you may be a big deal to her. If she refuses to open up and her behaviour doesn't improve then punishment may be in order. Grounding or taking her tv, favourite toy, etc, away from her would suffice. Children change constantly and her behviour blip may well pass as quickly as it appeared. Don't make a big deal about it or she'll probably act up on it even more. Keep a reward chart and encourage good behaviour by a weekly or monthly reward. Take time out to spend quality time with your daughter and build a good bond with her. If all else fails contact a specialist for advice.

Hey,
Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share. They are notoriously risky but if you follow a special method I've learned you can earn good money at almost no risk. This is the site I use: http://pennystocks.toptips.org
I definitely recommend subscribing to this site in particular. Very good research, quality stocks. I was a bit weary of penny stocks from all the bad hype they receive but this guy is pretty legit. He's put my mind at ease with a lot of the fears I've had. I especially like that he doesn't send out announcements left and right. I've signed up for other websites that fill my in-box with one company after the other. I don't know where to even start with so many choices in front of me! Nathan sends me one idea a week and that's all I need. Working so many hours during the week leaves me with very little time when I get home to start doing tons of penny stock research. I'm always eager to see what Nathan's next suggestion is each Friday and I love having time on the weekend to do my research.
As said above if you want to make money with penny stocks you have to follow some proven methods. This one in my opinion is the best: http://pennystocks.toptips.org

Alot can happen to a 7 year old that she doesnt understand. School, new kids, mean kids. When i was that age, i remember going to a new school, and i didnt fit it and when i started to fit in, someone new would come in and start more trouble with me when i had already gotten over being different.
I really stress that you sit down with her, mommy/daddy ( whoever this is asking) day, take her to lunch, shopping maybe, to a park, and ask her HONESTLY how school is, how are her friends, how are YOU doing as a mommy/daddy with her. Do you spend enough time together, maybe theirs new changes in YOUR LIFE that are affecting her life.
Also, please dont be afraid, but if she stays the night at other kids houses, ask her how that goes, and how the parents are to her, if they are nice or even REALLY NICE? Now is a time where kids think really that an adult would hurt them or YOU if they tell something. SOMETIMES family members, can do things too, maybe not immediate family members, but cousins, or friends of cousins, etc. Always know THERE IS always a reason for change, something had to have triggered this.
Also, weight, if she is a little chunky, she maybe getting small breasts that she is being teased for, or her hair, or anything at school. School stresses kids out like bills and life do to us since that is their life!!
Hope this helps!! I am here if you need anything else!!
Lots of Love

Is anything going on at home?IE arguments etc?Do you spend time together to do activities?Is there a possibility of her having been bullied at school?It could just be her age,maybe the kids she hangs about with do the same with their parents and she is copying?My son aged 4 is starting to get a bit lippy,happened as soon as he started school.She may just be realising that acting up ,gets her attention? Try distraction methods, asking her what she would like to do at the weekend,would she be interested in starting a hobby,dance lessons/karate/gymnastics.?The most important thing to do is talk to her ,and see if you cant find out anything that may be bothering her.Or have you a trusted Friend or close relative who cold try and get to the bottom of it? Kids don't usually play up for no reason at all..

My little girl turned 7 in November, and I can really relate to your question, I even posted a question about it too! I think it's just one of the many changes that kids go through. For one thing my daughter was really quiet and shy, and she started becoming not so shy, so sometimes it's like the serious, conservative part of herself is at war with the silly, bubbly part of herself. All you can do is have consequences for the unacceptable things she does, like lying, we actually went back to a behavior chart, and she doesn't like getting a mark on the negative side. We found the most effective thing to do is to take away things that she likes for awhile and make her earn them back. Good Luck to you, and try to have lots of patience.

Try the obvious first and sit down and quietly tell her about a story about when you were little and you had a problem, make up something like you were being bullied at school, and see if she comes up with anything!
try a reward chart!
Try treats for good behaviour.
try praising her for something 4 times as much as you criticise her. good luck!

Speak with doc. Maybe she is struggling at school. This is normally the age school starts getting harder, Is she struggling with reading or anything else. Does not sound like testing boundaries to me..... not if she is doing at school also. Could she be being bullied? Or somehing wrong that you do not know about.

time for testing boundaries again! My daughter is 9 and has finally stopped all of that, just in time to turn around and start it again in a year or so!
