[quote=Anonymous]I have an eight year old son-- he has been diagnosed with a language LD (expressive/receptive related to social pragmatics). He probably has mild attention deficit issues- I notice moderate problems with distractibility and impulse control.

Here is what is happening- when DS gets angry, he has recently taken to calling me names. Some are bad- he's even called me a b&tch. No, we don't routinely swear around him, and DH and I certainly do not call each other names.

I do discipline DS for name calling by taking away privileges, but I need it to stop. We discipline to send a message, but it doesn't seem to be a deterrent. I really think that this is impulsive behavior *and* related to social pragmatic deficits because DS isn't showing signs of extreme oppositional issues (e.g. he doesn't seek conflict, seems to want to do the right thing, wants to be "liked", etc.).

I'm starting to feel verbally abused and realize that if he's doing this at eight, what will he do at fourteen?? Anyone going through this-even with an older kid? What works? Nothing makes me feel like a parenting failure than my eight(!) year old son calling me heinous names in anger.
