[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eye rolls don’t fly in our house.  They are up there with pointing a finger in someone’s face in terms of disrespect.  Not acceptable at all.[/quote]

So what do you do if your child rolls their eyes?   What would the consequence be?[/quote]

DP here. if your kids are regularly doing eye rolls then it is already too late. You  have to nip  it in the bud the first time.  For my kids, the consequence.pretty much was me making a big deal out of it and making it a teachable week. I was capable of giving a never ending lecture about inappropriate behavior, how it is disrespectful, how it is a sign of poor parentaling,  terrible home environment, low education...etc etc. Until my kids realized that it was far too unpleasant to do bad behaviour because then life pretty much sucked. Also, I was quite capable of asking their friends things like, "Are you allowed to be disrespectful to your parent?", "Is my child disrespectful to teachers at school?".  It was uncomfortable and embarrassing for them to misbehave.  All this happened when they were tweens and early teens. I did not give them time outs, or took away privileges. I.just made it very uncomfortable for them to be disrespectful. Other than that, my kids have a very privileged and cushy life. They have to work hard but they are showered with resources, conveniences, attention and love [/quote]
