Don't Overreact to Sudden Mood Changes

Is your child suddenly slamming doors or talking back? Has your elementary schooler gone from sweet to sassy almost overnight? Relax! These behaviors are a normal part of changing from a little kid to a big kid. They are usually temporary.

Don't overreact to your child's moodiness, but do make it clear when behavior crosses the line. When that happens, enforce the rules calmly and consistently. With your love and guidance, your child will soon pass through this rough spot.
