[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the replies. We already do a lot of this (giving him autonomy and choices when we can, etc). And overall he's cooperative/well-behaved. But he has spells of awful behavior. Doing mean things to little sibling, speaking really disrespectfully, etc. To the ice cream example above, when he's in this mode, that answer would lead to him pitching a fit about wanting it NOOOOWWWW! Or giving a choice would result in "neither one!" We are trying to make sure he gets enough sleep; that is one possible explanation lately. I agree that finding and fixing the root cause is best, but I was also wondering how other parents deal when this behavior does occur. For those who don't tolerate a disrespectful tone or tantrums, how do you nip it in the bud? Thanks. [/quote]
