[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let him be. Tweens and preteens need space to process. [/quote] And don't respond by yelling or by ignoring him. Just carry on as you have been doing. [/quote] Exactly. You behave normally, and he will run out of steam. There's nothing to fuel the bad behavior if you don't rise to respond. Waging a war on your parents is tiring, and with time to process without interference, he'll probably return back to his normal state. But the more you do in response, the more he will do in response, too. It's more fuel for the fire. Let it burn out naturally, and then when it is long over and you are in a good moment together, talk about it without all the high emotion.[/quote]
