My daughter is 6.5 and normally a sweet girl, absolute angel at school, usually great at home, with the usual off days. Bits she’s always been my buddy. Since yesterday she’s a changed child, rude, argumentative, calling me and her little sister names, refusing to do anything! Thats the trigger, as soon as she’s asked to tidy her mess, which is everywhere! Her room, playroom, living room. She just flips when I ask her to do anything, saying she needs help , it’s unfair etc. The worst part, hwr sister is listening g and copying her 😢I lost it today as I’m on my own with both and I’m so ill too. Is anyone experiencing that it has any advice? Thank you in advance xx

Learn more about our guidelines.It could be to do with demands, my son is autistic with a pda profile and adhd and any kind of demand he refuses and acts out. I have to word things so that it's a choice he's making or I make it into a game, put the tidy up song on and see how much we can do till it finishes, I usually have to help him tidy he won't do it alone x
I have no advice but know that you're not alone. My 6.5yo son is exactly the same, and his little brother (20m) is copying everything 😩
I’m starting to notice this within my daughter’s friend group, they are all 7 already, it’s as if the hormones are starting to come in and getting the attitude etc xx
I’m currently never allowed to be right, she’s always right apparently drives me absolutely insane!! X
Could be hormones but also other factors. Any changes in her home, school, external environment, appetite/food, sleep pattern?
Same here!! My 7 year old was such a lovely boy but the last year he's been argumentative, sensitive always angry, dosent want to do anything I ask him to do, tells me and his dad how he hates us and hates his life. He's in a very loving home so no idea where he gets all the attitude from. He's also got a 2 year old brother to which copies everything my 7 year old does and its a fighting battle everyday. Your not alone. X
My son is like this but he has ADHD, same age. Struggles with demands and genuinely does need help. It must be hard being on your own if your not well as normally I'd suggest starting the task with her but that sounds like maybe it's not possible. Use incentives for tidying her room and just ask her to do one part of it at a time, like a specific type of toy or part of her room. I still have to tidy my son's room with him, he can't do it alone and I do a lot more of it. He's got messier and challenges me more on requests more so I have to think about how I word things and what mood he's in when I ask ie let's tidy your room together before bed you don't want to step on Lego in the night and then we can read a story you like for example.
