You are not alone!

My 6yo who turns 7 in July has adopted the "Bratz" attitude and american accent along with the dolls she received for christmas and now everything is "popular" and "funky" and my outfits are assessed each morning as to their cool factor. Lucky I've passed so far

Along with the attitude comes the non-stop talking about nothing.

If she addresses me with attitude I just Otherwise I ignore the bad and respond to the good. IMO it is her playing a role in her mind that I can either encourage or discourage. To discourage :

1) I try to channel her into constructive discussions about what she thinks about something or what was her favourite thing that happened that day or least favourite which seems to snap her out of the "attitude game" as I call it.

2) Or I state that I can't hear her when she speaks in that tone and if it is important it is repeated.

Unfortunately in public some people find DD antics amusing and some precocious - but as per the challenges of children I've long given up on trying to please the public and am just trying to please my eardrums and get my little darling back.

I just think our little kids are growing up fast - how scarey.
