why is my 7 yr old daughter so argumentative... great in school, but really...

...mouthy at home sometimes!? She can be really sweet and helpful, but asking her to do things when she isn't ready to really creates issues. She is the oldest of 4 and can be really helpful most of the time, but really shocks me with random meltdowns and temper tantrums. She can sometimes get physical with her sister and brother when they argue.. she is very emotional and always has been, but I thought she'd grow out of this stuff by now. Any other moms/dads dealing with PMSing 7 year olds?

It reminded me of my own brother..ever since he was small he used to be like that, now he is 21 and one of the best debaters in the country and has competed nationally and internationally,..come on, dont be so reactive, just think her being argumentative will leave her somewhere positively, ok? The only difference is he wasnt that physical really though he displayed tantrums too..............enjoy her being chatty...
