[quote=Anonymous]I think your DH is right, but that you might add a layer of specificity and help. Your son won't listen to you or care that you don't like his language, but he will and does care that he is being kicked out of groups where he wants to play. So after that happens you could sit down with him and ask him why it happened, and ask him why he responds the way he does and whether he can think of other ways to talk/be when he gets all wound up.

It can be really hard to figure out for a kid, I think. Some boasting and trash talk is expected, but there is a line. Where the line is depends on the existing friendships, plus how "good" the kid is - better players are expected to be more boastful. A trash talking kid who isn't good will get dropped sooner because he isn't earning his trash talking. I'm not defending this, just explaining. It is just like our boys had to learn to navigate games on the playground with all their implicit social rules that some kids just "get" and other kids really don't understand until they are taught or they mature. You can help teach your kid how to bite his tongue or take a break when he is angry, or to avoid certain words, or simply not engage with certain people who make him angry when playing.

He'll learn - most kids do. But it is more pleasant for everyone if he doesn't learn the hard way.[/quote]
