my daughters behavior

[gabby1983]

my daughter is 9 years old, about a couple months ago she started acting up, she screams, kicks, she doesnt listen, fight with her sister and everyone else, wouldn't go to sleep if i am not on her bed huging her, is not doing good in school, wouldnt do anything i ask her to, i have tried everything and dont know what to do anymore,....

Could it possibly be hormones? My ten year old has begun puberty and sometimes I don't even recognize her she behaves so poorly. Maybe a trip to the pediatrician could shed some light on the situation.

Maybe you could ask her in the presence of a children's therapist, who can give you advice on how to address it, and maybe help your daughter if she is finding it impossible to talk to anyone at home.

I have, many times, but from a calm conversation it turns into a huge fight

Have you simply and calmly asked  her what has changed in her life?  Not in an exasperated tone, but in a sympathetic tone?  Something might be happening that she feels she can't tell you.
