What happened to my sweet 9 year old daughter?

Jekyll and Hyde, I'm telling you. She was always a good kid - kind, gentle, repsonsible, helpful. Now? It's gotten ugly around here. She's stealing (junk food, money, toys from her brothers), she's lying about the stealing as well as less significant things, and she's started dressing up A LOT. I mean lipgloss, jewelry, 3-5 outfits a day, and spending an hour in the bathroom in the morning.

As if that isn't enough, I talk to her about these things and she glares at me. Seriously. Come to think of it, she has been a little more emotional lately too. She says she stays up too late reading, and she's feeling whiny these days.

What is going on with her?

No, there is nothing going on in her life that I can identify. no divorce. No bullies. No bad influence friends. School's out for the summer. She's usually home with me all day, and her best friend practically lives here. She's not lonely.

Anybody have a 9 year old daughter that's kinda freaking you out a little?
OMG. Seriously? You think this is her period coming on?

Well, . . . damn.

wow.

Answer
Sounds like PMS to me. My daughter was like that every month for about a year before she actually started having periods. And no 9 is not too young. My niece turned 9 in February and started having her period in May. I would have a set time for lights out to make sure she's getting enough sleep. I told my daughter that she can feel cranky without taking it out on everyone around her. Easier said than done, of course. But now she has a journal and I think she just writes down all her complaints in there. But I don't read it so I don't really know!! Good luck.

My 6 year old son wants to start skateboarding. What is a good beginner board for him?

deegeesque

He has been going to the local church which has a skate park with tons of ramps. He is not scared AT ALL, and has been riding the church's boards but he wants his own now. What kind should I get him? He is not a small kid, he looks to be that of a 9 year old so a smaller board probably would not suit him.

Answer
definately something not too big.mabye 7.5 or 7.75 inches in width.DO NOT get it from walmart or toys r us!! if there is a skateshop nearby,ask the employees there for some help....some good brands include habitat,enjoi,alien workshop,chocolate,girl,slave,mystery,zoo york,zero,birdhouse,element,almost,skate mental,dgk,anti hero,baker,black label,blind,cliche,blueprint,creature,deathwish,flip,krooked,plan b,real,and stereo hoped this helps!!

How do I Babysit 4 bratty kids that can't do anything fun like crafts or coloring, playdough?

best kids toys 9 year olds image

Q. How do I babysit 4 bratty kids of the ages 2,4,9,10 years old? All we can do is play with their toys, eat. There is nothing todo, they can't color because they will throw the crayons, we can't do crafts, we can't play with playdough. I just need help!

Answer
Considering you are calling them "bratty kids" I don't think you should be babysitting. I wouldn't let you baby sit my 2 year old daughter.

but if someone is willing to let you babysit then you could get some kids songs 2 year olds really like that. Also if you can manage any sorts of crafts 4 year olds really enjoy making cards and such for there parents. 9 and 10 year olds could play a board game together.

What would you do if you saw a young boy stealing from a shop?

Q. While shopping in a store, you notice a young boy acting suspiciously. Standing in the toy section, he hides an item in his pocket, thinking no one has seen him. He is only about 8 or 9 years old. What would you do? You could do nothing and let the kid learn his lesson the hard way. You might say something to him. If so, what would you say?

Answer
I would keep an eye on him and when he goes back to his parents i would politely inform them of what i saw Or just tell him that his parents have to pay for the toy before he can have it and see if he puts it back or not.
