[quote=Anonymous]You can encourage gratitude without being emotional about it. I recommend addressing it after the fact or at the very least, calmly at the point of the incident. For example, it's morning, everyone is rushing, child acts entitled. Deal with the situation calmly. Later in the day when everyone is fed and not rushing, say, "I didn't like how you talked to me this morning. I don't mind giving you a ride when you miss the bus (for example) but next time, you could ask in a kinder way." or "I didn't like the way you talked to your dad this morning. It would be nice for you to acknowledge his efforts." And then leave it at that for the moment.[/quote]
