[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a good friend of yours said they were not good at piano your first thought wouldn’t be “what consequences can I give my friend?” It would be huh, what’s going on and how can I help. Use this mindset with your own child. [/quote]
[b]If you paid a nice compliment to a friend of yours and they snapped back at you I think you would be wondering what their problem is. [/b]It’s not the content, it’s the tone. “I don’t think I am very good” said in a kind tone would be handled accordingly. [/quote]

That was my point - it is a cry for help and I’d be wondering what was up. I wouldn’t think it was rude and needing “punishment”[/quote]

DP.  You are ignoring the impact the recipient of this lashing out.  Just because someone may need help doesn't mean they can dump/crush someone else. [/quote]

Yeah you have to treat each kid individually. If the other kid is upset you can comfort them and let them know if their sibling is having a bad day, it is not their fault. Also you can always say “hey - I can see you’re upset that was not a kind tone” in front of the sibling so they know you’re addressing it. But punish? No way[/quote]
