[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen is very mature (as in probably more mature than most adults) so this behavior is not generally a problem, but with both of my kids (the teen and the 12 yo), I don't allow them to yell at me or generally treat me like sh*t. I get that they are adolescents and may not always handle things well. They're learning... but in our family it is simply not acceptable to treat people that way. [/quote] I agree in concept, but I suspect you also have a neuro-typical kid. You say you don't allow your kids to yell at you or treat you like sh*t. No parent wants to allow it, but how a parent responds depends entirely on the nature of their kid. As PPs stated, you tell the child what is expected but beyond that ignoring and not giving attention to the issue can work well. If the child has significant anxiety, OCD, other delays, etc., then the hard and fast parenting rules need to be modified for your family situation.[/quote]
