[quote=Anonymous]This child is in 5th or 6th grade? He's not ready for a phone. Clearly. I agree you ignore him. People who give the silent treatment do it to try to control you or punish you. It is emotional abuse. Usually it's adults doing it to children (my mother did it to me) or adults doing it to other adults. But it's very manipulative and emotionally abusive. You give it power and life when you continue to try to interact with the person and break down the silence. Long-term, 100 percent family therapy. Not a good dynamic.[/quote]
