[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just immediately disengage and walk away. My face falls; I stop eye contact. The kid either finds me to apologize or when he's calmer I ask him why he thinks I walked away and he says he's sorry. But this doesn't a happen a lot. Maybe once or twice a year,[/quote]

I would try modeling a better response so that your kid doesn’t end up in a future relationship with unhealthy communication.[/quote]

There is no better response when someone is abusing you. You get away from them! This is what I want to model.[/quote]

Yeah but a kid is not an abuser. The logic does not work. Anyway, good luck.[/quote]

The kid is not an abuser, but their actions are abusive. They need to learn abusive actions are not ok. And there are lots of ways to react to that.[/quote]

They need to learn how to regulate their emotions. Having a parental figure turn their back on them and withhold love until an apology is made, is a messed up dynamic that does not support the end goal. I would not do that to a young child.[/quote]
