Kelly I feel your pain. I have an 11 yr old who's body is more developed than her poor head. As Dolly Parton once said, "she doesn't know whether to scratch her watch or wind her butt". In the meantime, I am going batty trying to either stay one step ahead of her, or even wrap my head around what is going on in her head. Shes moody, lazy, can be explosively angry, and then turn around and be a freaking angel. My remedy to any of this is I spend time with her, talk with her, hug her lots. I really hope my efforts keep the lines of communication open> When I have to come down hard on her for when she is rude and mean, I feel like I take two steps back....But what else can you do?
My motto is... I will survive my daughters puberty....say it like a chant/ lol

I know how you feel. All kids go through this and with girls its harder. You are going to have to let her work her feelings out for herself. The important thing is that you stay the same. Stick to your routine and your beliefs in right and wrong. Don't let her moods get to you. If you go on an emotional merry-go-round it will confuse her and she won't see any stability or security in you as 'mom'. It might help if you invite her to join you in one of her favorite activities. Or even stuff she used to like as a little girl, like baking.
I found that giving her a facial (obviously teaching her at the same time) or doing make-up helps her to focus on things that will make her look and feel good.
