“She's quite mean to me in the thing she says about my outfits - or how our home looks.” One parent asked Moncrieff how to deal with her daughter's 'mean' behaviour.
“I’m really struggling to accept her behaviour to the point that I don’t really like her at the moment,” she said.“She's quite mean to me in the thing she says about my outfits - or how our home looks.”
“It's very hard not to personalise or take personally an attack that feels so personal. You know, it's literally about [you], our home, our stuff.”“Pulling and pushing away”“She's developmentally at a stage where she has to pull away from her mom in order to separate, to individuate, to grow," Joanna said.
“It's that phase of ‘I'm identifying with somebody beyond you, and idealising the outside world,” she said. “it's not nice, even it making sense doesn't mean it's okay.”Joanna said it’s natural that the mother might “shout back” at her daughter after mounting pressure – but she has to"initiate the repair".
“As parents, we have to show our children particularly in this difficult stage... I snapped at you, or I did or said whatever I did, because my feelings were really hurt by some of the things you said,” she said.
