[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can sit down with your daughter and ask her questions. Ask her how she would feel if she made an announcement and were greeted with eyerolling/snarkiness, etc. Ask her how she would feel if she were in public -- on transportation, a restaurant, and viewed an interaction in a family in which snarkiness/sarcasm was a response. What would her perception be of the family? I also think that you and your husband need to make sure to cut back on any sarcastic comments you two make to make sure there isn't a payoff for sarcasm in your family.[/quote] "how would you feel" would get eye rolls out of my teen. your kid is perfectly aware that it t would not feel good to have her accomplishments diminished. That is why she is doing this. My bet is that the behavior is aimed at you, and not at the younger kid, although that doesn't change the fact that the behavior must stop. [/quote]
