[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I often see the advice to ignore teens when they are eye-rolling or talking back because this is just them asserting th :roll: eir independence or practicing breaking away. Mine are still young and just entering the eye-roll stage. My question is, how do you know when to ignore and when to say it's unacceptable. I want to be compassionate to what they're going through but don't want to someone who thinks it's ok to be a jerk, or a know-it-all.[/quote] You can stop the eye rolling now. “Larlo, I just watched you roll your eyes. That’s disrespectful. You don’t have to like what I’m saying, but you do have to be respectful. You’re welcome to roll your eyes all you want in your room or the bathroom. But in this family, it’s never going to be okay to do it in response to someone in the same space.” [/quote] :roll: [/quote]
