I was reading an article in a parenting magazine this afternoon about the exact behavior issues that Z is having right now. The good news? Z is way ahead developmentally. All of this back talking/name calling/boundary testing is right on track for a 5-YEAR-OLD. The bad news? Apparently she skipped right over the friendly fours and went right for the fearsome fives.
Uh, yay?
Joy for you! I don't think my son has ever left that phase. And he's 11.
ReplyDeleteThat's looking on the bright side!! Hopefully she quickly get through this phase.
ReplyDeletehang tough.
ReplyDelete..don't let that little 5 year old push you around. Hopefully she'll move past this soon.
