DD is 9 and at the onset of puberty, has quite definitely begun to change with regards to moodiness and her temper.
Lastnight she punched her 3 year old brother in the mouth and bust his lip. Was very upsetting but after we talked we gathered that she had flipped out as he'd been winding her up. Made it VERY clear we didn't want this to happen again.
Tonight she had a friend over got quite jealous that friend was playing with her brother and punched him in the chest.
I have to nip this in the bud, please can you offer any suggestions? Obviously she knows how upset we are but I don't want to risk this becoming how she handles getting angry.
Thanks in advance
