[quote=Anonymous]I have taken both of the positive parenting classes with Dr Rene and Dr Dan - neither one of them say that you always have to do positive parenting. For something like this, I think starting out ignoring was a good idea - however, it isn't working. Positive motivators would be something like everyday that he doesn't say something mean - he gets a prize. However, in our house, we do a lot of positive parenting and then we have a few non-negotiables that result in immediate penalty. We went through a similar issue though our's was "worst mommy" - I ignored for like two weeks and then said no more - I told our child that if he said it again that he'd immediatley lose TV for the day. He tried it a few more times - consequence was immediate though non-emotional and that was that - hasn't happened in months.[/quote]
