Two are crazy and one is not. Well, wasn't.
Enter hormones, body changes, getting older. Enter 10 1/2 years old.
Our sweet nearly 5th grader has always been so gentle, kindhearted and consistent. She still wants to say "Don't let the bed bugs bite" and blow us a kiss every night. But, at the end of 4th grade we started to see some major changes. And this summer it has blown up much bigger.
She sometimes just breaks out bawling at the dinner table and runs to her room. We all look around bewildered. She will start yelling at her younger sister seemingly out of nowhere. Outbursts, crying, confusion and more. And she does NOT back down from her older sister anymore. (I'm kindof proud of her on that one.)
I have comforted her many times by re-assuring her that it is not really all her fault. She is still that sweet girl inside, her brain and personality is just being strongly affected by all the physiological changes. I can say this calmly because her older sister was way more Crazy (with a capital C). All things seem easier the second time around.
Hang in there sweetheart and your patience and humility will be back pretty soon (we hope!).
