[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like any situation: You apologize with sincerity. “I responded to you using language that I’m not proud of. I called you a name and I’m guessing that made you feel bad. I apologize.”

Or something like that. [/quote]

This.  The two words in the world that you need to teach your child to say is "I'm sorry" or "I apologize".  So take this as a teachable moment and teach.  Keep in mind that it is okay to call out sass and to remind your child to speak to you respectfully but you lower yourself when you have to curse and demean or belittle.  Apologize and move forward.

Completely agree.  Be sincere with your apology -- tell her that you didn't like her behavior, but that you should never use that word, especially to describe someone in your family.

We all make mistakes.  If I feel like I could have done a better job handling a situation with the kids, I'll talk to them later when everyone is calm.  I hope they learn that no one is perfect, and maintaining a good relationship requires apologizing when you screw up.[/quote]
