do all school age kids develop attitudes after being in school for one year??? LOL! Alexis is in 1st and oh my gosh, that girl has developed a lovely attitude (part from me i know!! 
) and it is definately something new for me. You think terrible twos and stuff is hard, but this is just as hard... I love my girl though (shes my little twin!)
Do you have advice on dealing with attitudes? What steps do you take to stop them or to keep yourself from getting an attitude back?

I have a 1st grader this year too with attitude.

She didn't stand a chance! Mostly I give her 1 warning about it, saying she needs to change her attitutde. That used to be enough. Now I send her to her room (she hates being away from everyone). If that doesn't work (and sometimes it doesn't) I am not adverse to giving her a swat on the bottom for "reinforcement". I actually popped her mouth when she told me to be quiet! 
That doesn't happen much. Normally, when she is sent to her room, I get the stomping on the stairs and a slamming door. Although not so much anymore since I threatened to take the door off!
