Best way to 'handle' what would appear to be a belligerent 11 year old girl?
I'm sort of asking for insider experience here...

Kids will test you. That's what they do !
And those approaching the dreaded teen years, more so !
You have to develop an understanding of how they think and realize you'll never make them go ...."OH....NOW i get it !"
You develop 'stock phrases'.
'I don't say this stuff to annoy you, i say this stuff to explain to you...'
"If you continue with this line of behaviour. Here's what will happen......."
"Take responsibility for the things you do and say".....etc.

@Picklebobble2 Morning my friend. There is a context here you are closer than most to knowing - daughters of the groom. Early days, and I'm well up to help, but wondered if there was any wider view to be had. And, it makes for a good Q too perhaps. Take care Mr Picklebobble. (Why are you No2? There can't have been a No1, surely?! LOL)
