Re: out of control 12 yr old

Hi there,
I am new to all of this, just joined this site today. I have an 11yr old girl going through what it sounds like to be the same thing. It has been about 1 month now and she has changed from being completly respectful to a little girl that I don't even know. I have never known a child to have such disrespect and be completely ignorant to her mother. Nothing has really changed in her life other than she is probably starting puberty. I don't know about you but I sure did not act that why whenI was going through puberty. When I disipline her she show much remorse but I know it is because she does not want to be in trouble, so I do not give in, so she than will start screaming at me ( I really mean screaming ) until she gets so worked up that she has trouble breathing.

I would be great if there was someone out there with all the answers, but for now I guess it is just trial and error.
