So what tactics have you found for moody preteens? Who knew that the
hormones kick in at about 10 1/2? I was not an easy teen and it seems I am already getting by just rewards. Sorry Mom. Loren stressing in Seattle. "frood" wrote in message . com... Nope.

My DDs gave very little trouble. They were good manipulators, but I'm older
and better, so I could stay a step ahead. Just remember, hormones are your friend, part of the process that gets children to leave home eventually. Did you really want them to live with you forever? Talking helps. Try to be there for a debriefing every day right after school. Have a snack together and just listen. Don't criticize, don't hand out chores. You can lose the weight later if necessary, but you'll never get a chance to do this over. Pick an issue well within your comfort range and stand firm. For us, it was No piercing until age 14, and DD had to pay for it. This served as the focus of a lot of hormonal angst for several years. Although I admit that all they pierced back then was ears :-) Have dinner as a family every night -not always possible these days, but IMO it's worth sacrificing a few activities. When they want permission for something, don't say No right away. Hear all the arguments calmly. Ask questions until you feel you have all the facts. Discuss pros and cons. Phone the other parents. Then make a decision, explain your reasoning if it's a negative, and don't change your mind. Roberta in D "Loren in Seattle" wrote in message news:cTV3b.305047$uu5.65198@sccrnsc04...

Loren, now you know why many grandparents seem to smirk a lot. The good
news is that pretty soon your preteen will no longer be a moody preteen, the bad news is that you'll be living with a moody teenager. Thank goodness time takes care of that too.

I've got a 15 year old (today!) DD, and 9 and 13 YO sons. On top of the normal
"teen" and "pre-teen" stuff they have to deal with a very ill dad, so their lives are pretty stressful just on a day-to-day basis. I've found that one of the most important things has been to stay on schedule with meals and bedtimes and make sure that they have plenty of food, fresh air, and sleep! Seriously! We all seem happier when they've all had a good night's rest. As another poster mentioned (sorry I forgot who), choose your issues. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to bite my lip clear through, but I'm trying more and more to let some things "roll off" my shoulders, and chose my battles carefully! Then again, a quilt retreat for Mom is a great help, too! HTH- JoyceG, down the road in Gig Harbor Loren in Seattle asked: So what tactics have you found for moody preteens?
