I got some advices on FB, as well and some of those were about not letting him talk to me that way, but we've tried that. <br />Somebody adviced me to talk to him about this when we're having a good moment, so I did. And after that I follwed my husband's advice (big mistake!) and said there'll be a punishment the next time he says I'm stupid or tells me to shut up, and that really upset him. This might sound weird, or even offensive but I think dogs and kids should be trained the same way, by rewarding them, not by punishment! <br /><br />Thank you! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399914238269774259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563520978655932207.post-65279677130573526572014-04-04T05:32:56.156-07:002014-04-04T05:32:56.156-07:00We are not there yet.

Often when I am in a tiff with our 9 year old he tends to have a pity party. M and I decided to to not feed it with talk back. He needs space, and usually comes arounds and confesses his wrong. Another thing you might want to consider is how his father relates and talks about you. M has done a pretty good job in teaching respect toward women. We do not want to be passive on this nor be on his heels about every tiff. If he is still saying he loves you, treasure those moments. Perhaps before your blood pressure rises you can say you love him anyway...because you do. :)Battle Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385277161277268904noreply@blogger.com
