[quote=Anonymous]We were at a friend's house, having what I thought was a perfectly fun time. Probably a touch too much fun (?!) because my son who loves to be "funny" first pretend barfed and then spat water over the host's table. He's never done this before and I understand he was getting excited. I was sad for him (and his friend) but I did regretfully feel embarrassed and unhappy and we excused ourselves. Plus, I wanted a natural consequence to help him understand the limits of humor. Luckily our friends were not upset about their table or his rude behavior, so I know this could have been much much worse. I'm curious what others with boys this age think? How do you help your kids learn the limits and boundaries of politeness? He seems like a line tester for sure and of course he did this thinking he was "funny," which is often when he makes his worst decisions.[/quote]
