[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I can't do anything about my nephew but it is having an impact on my child. This is DH's family and short of limiting time with them I am really at a loss for what to do. We follow through with consequences and I just think it stinks that my nephew has no expectations. [/quote] When I'm in a position where another kid we can't get away from is negatively affecting DD's behavior, I pull her aside and talk to her about not sinking to that person's level, and challenging her to do better and do what she knows she's supposed to despite what's going on around her. If I have to keep reminding her we establish a signal so she's not getting embarrassed in front of others. [/quote] +1. This, exactly. "Just because someone else is acting badly does not give you the right to also act badly. You know the expectations and the consequences." We also have a special signal/code phrase for this type of situation.[/quote]
