Here is an old saying to keep in mind…"birds of a feather flock together". You know what that means. You may be looking at your kid as the innocent victim in this newly formed behavior, and maybe it is just bringing out traits that you didn’t realize that they had in the first place. Talking to them about it can be extremely tricky.
