[quote=Anonymous]OP - I don't have a 12 yr old yet (mine are still in ES), but if my 12 yr old consistently behaved the way you described, I would've done the same, but, I don't think this one punishment will change anything. My sister had a really rough time with her DD when she was in MS. She tried everything, too. She said in the end, by HS (yes, this lasted till then), she found speaking calmly to her and really listening to her DD helped. I think for some kids, if the parent loses it and starts yelling, it escalates things for the kid. I do think consistent punishment is important. No parent should allow their kid to speak to them this way. But, as hard as it would be (I know for me it will be *really* hard), trying to stay calm, talking with the kid (not talking at her), and taking away privileges is the only thing I can think of that would help. If your DD continues with this attitude, will you keep sending her to bed with no dinner?[/quote]
