Mazzy has been an absolute dream since returning from camp, and you just have to take my word for it when I say, this was not how she was behaving for the better half of last year. Part of the reason I think I had such an awesome July with just Harlow. Since she’s been back, she is doing more stuff for herself, voluntarily helping me out in all different ways, engaging with me in more advanced and meaningful conversations, and just being generally wonderful. Last year, I went to this school seminar where a teacher broke down kids’ personalities by age. She said that 9yos can be confrontational and push boundaries while 10yos were at this magical age of love and good behavior. Mazzy was in the midst of developing a major attitude and I remember thinking— well, this is just a huge generalization; I can’t imagine Mazzy turning it around that fast. But now I can see it coming. It’s here. The magic. #thebigkidyears

denise2987 My oldest is 13 and for us it came in waves. I remember him being really awful around 9/10 and then there was a break in it and he was normal and pleasant to be around again and then he started middle school and backs unbearable for a year or two. He’s now 13 and entering 8th grade and has turned a corner for the better and I’m so glad! It’s been interesting to watch my friend’s son, who is 18 months younger than mine and a totally different personality type his whole life (he’s very laid back, easy going, and generally sweet) go through the same cycle of disgruntled grumpy behavior lol and see it really does happen to them all lol

frumabella_and_izzybella Oy the emotions at 9 and going into 4th grade are here at our house.. my sister , step bro and another friend is a 4th grade teacher and they say stay in for the girl drama at school too. It’s started since she’s come back from camp for us actually but in a different way since she’s a year younger. Even though she’s an old soul.. I am seeing it with her and her friends.. her friends are emotionally behind her which is frustrating for her.. Oy the emotions. G-d help us this year. I know it will pass. But.. i feel the change ..

brandyleigh830 I’m living the 9 year old confrontational/push boundaries life with my typically very respectful and easy going boy. I think my standards are higher bc he’s always been so much “easier” when it came to behavior. Disappointed in how quickly I lose my temper sometimes and react. This is a good reminder that he’s just going through the different phases each age brings and I need to help him through the best way I know how. Hoping for that silver lining that Mazzy has shown you this summer! 💗👏🏻 Thanks for sharing @mommyshorts !

honeyandthebee My 10 yo daughter is in 5th grade and this year has been all about defiance and attitude, especially when we ask her to do something. I have wanted to pull my hair out at times. She’s loving when she wants to be but getting her to clean up or take care of herself has become an extra headache for me. Praying that 11 is better in December.

urbradymama Google "periods of disequilibrium" it has seriously never been wrong for my just turned 9 year old. It's so nice when they are in the equilibrium phases. For my kiddo, so far the 5 and a half - six and a half was REALLY tough for us and now b nine. OMG nine may kill me. Only eleven and a half more months to go 😆😬

skaplow Well that’s good to know! My 9 year old for sure could be described as confrontational and pushing boundaries. Also constantly unimpressed and blasé about everything! It’s exhausting. Glad to hear there’s a chance it may itself around without some Herculean parenting effort on my part.
