I have a 9 year old that is just getting cocky..I want to be her friend but she is making it very hard for me. She doesn't listen and her 22 month old sister is starting to pick certain things up from her that I really don't like!
Any suggestions?

Yes, my daughter was about 10 when she started acting like a teenager. Those years are so hard! The best thing you can do is try to be there for her. Remind her that you love her and try to relate to her. She will try to struggle away from you, but she needs you now more than ever.
As for her bad behavior, I would suggest some punishment (grounding, etc.) so that the behavior is terminated.
Good luck!

ps. Best answer? I'm trying to get some points! :)

My son is 11 now. He has always been very laid back and calm, but here lately he has gotten an attitude with his 8 year old sister. He hasn't started this with us yet and I don't think he will. The thing is that his sister has always taken her anger out on him no matter what we do so I am sure this has something to do with his behavior toward her. I have started grounding them both from things they enjoy.....Thank God for Webkinz pets and gameboys. And yes, he is starting to go through the BIG change. I'm so not ready for it.

I have a 13 year old, she started at 11 and my 11 yr old started around 9. Yes, prepare yourself big time for alot of headaches. Don't get me wrong, my girls are very good. BUt when they get in their moods, watch out. They think they are right, and they think they know everything. I hear boys are alot easier, but I wouldnt trade them in the world!

Well i have 4 daughters between 12 and 16 and they are all a tad bit cocky in their own way. The easiest way to keep them in check is stop trying so hard to please them.Stop trying to be their friends for a little while. Lay down the law and stick to your guns. They will hate you for a very short time but will totally respect you for it afterwards and you will see a change in their behaviour immediatley

I have a 9 year old and he is sassy. If he don,t get his way he looks at me like he could cut a whole in me. And his sister who is 2 she is doing the same thing, so I think that we both have the same problem.

You can't be her friend, you need to be the parent and come up with some consequences for her cocky behavior before it too late. Nine is about the age they want to be your boss. Good luck, don't give in.

I'm giving you a star! I have a 14 yr. old, at night I sneak up to his room and pray over him. I decided a long time ago that friends he has, he needs a mother that sets boundaries, it's hard to see your child mad at you but in the long run they will thank you. Hang in the girl, remember to constantly tell her you love her, smile at her a lot, don't scream at her, talk calmly, praise her when deserved and give her consequences when they are truly deserved, not when you're mad at her.
