Hi guys.
im having some trouble with my 8 year old DD. She's really developed attitude, which could've begun 4 years ago when I married (not her father), but it's getting really depressing. She never seems happy and she is also so bossy that her friends have stopped inviting her over to their place (one of the mums said this is purely due to bossiness). It really really upsets me.
I've been doing a course on parenting but think it's aimed more at 3-5 year olds. (even though it said up to 8 on course outline).
I just dont' know what to do. I thought maybe others would have some advice.
Another thing is i don't think she's independent enough. does anyone have ideas on how to create more independence, without too much effort (she'll just lose interest).
thank you xoxoxo
