(Like teenagers) But what about kids 7-8 years old? Or have they just completely lost it?

This is an insane crisis, I'm hanging on for dear life with my son. They said you have to get through this stage.

Olesichka So they're basically teenagers now? That's it? All over?

Olesichka Haha, no, this is for about a year and a half, a warm-up for the teenage years 😂

Haven't noticed that.

Olesichka Horrible

Anna This is really the beginning of the transition period at 11 years old. Negotiating. She's become prickly in general.

Anna Patience to us

Looks like not everyone is experiencing a crisis or has had one.

I don't believe in any crises at all. Babies just grow!)

It wasn't, my youngest actually became more reasonable, and my oldest didn't suffer from that. But all kids are different, they all have their quirks. Sending you strength and patience.

Just mind-blown 🤣 and too smart, that's more true than a crisis )

Oh, my son went through a phase where he was acting out. Around age seven. We managed to get him back on track little by little.

Olesichka Yes, I think so too +++++

There are no real "terrible twos" or "threenagers" as such. There are stages of growing up, yes. The first is around 3 years old, when a child starts to realize they are a separate person. The second is starting elementary school, when they're not quite grown up, but not little anymore. That's when, in simple terms, they start to push boundaries, and what comes next... well, you'll find out later, or maybe you won't 😅🤣
