My ds used to be a lovely, sweet, helpful, loving child. But just lately he has turned into a little animal. He is rude, naughty, answers back constantly, bad tempered, spiteful to his sisters - I could go on. It's like he's become a teenager 5 years early!!! The thing is, when he goes out with other people he is like his old self again, then he's back home and within half an hour he's horrid again. I am at my wits end, I love him dearly, but at the moment I don't like him very much . Do boys have a hormone surge at 8 or something? And is he likely to calm down again?
