Re is it school-related - it *might* be peer-related. My now-10 year old dd is going through some of the same attitude (more so than my older kids who have age-legitimate reasons to develop teen attitude lol!).. and it started around 9 and it was something that seemed to sweep through her school peers.

Sorry I don't have any advice really, and I don't know if it means it will be over "early" - but I'm hoping so!
