[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let him be opinionated, but remind him that he should be considerate of others.  Not every thought needs to be shared.  If he's saying something negative about something that another person really likes, he should consider not saying it at all, or couching it in a more polite way.

"I like Star Wars."
"Star Wars is stupid.  Superman is way cooler." VS "Star Wars is okay.  I like Superman better, because...."  The latter is more polite and might actually lead to a conversation.

The exception is that if he's standing up for someone else. or someone is at risk of getting hurt.  [/quote]

op here...yes this is exactly what he does.  he doesn't say anything violent or inappropriate. it's the way he says things...very abrupt.  "I hate that guy he's annoying.... "  "the art teacher is just stupid..."

we are trying to work on it, but it's just not clicking!!![/quote]

YOU are the problem if you think the words hate or stupid are appropriate. Does he imitate you or another person in the home? The tone is the least of your problems here, OP.

OP here...instead of being rude tell me how to help him change this.  We do not speak this way in our home, it's definitely picked up at school[/quote]
