[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Eliminate screen time, no matter what.

2. Ignore his behavior, so he'll stop pressing your buttons. Pretend like you don't notice and go about your business.

[b]Ignoring just makes it seem like the behavior is right[/b]. It has to be addressed as wrong and not tolerated. [/quote]

+1  And it shows that mom/dad can't do anything about it.  Ignoring when a 2 yr old throws a tantrum is fine.  But this kind of behavior at 8 shouldn't be "ignored".  Deal with it head on.[/quote]
[b]Perhaps you might consider why he's doing it in the first place.[/b]
Anyone?[/quote]

Because he's pissed off.

OP I agree with those who say nip it in the bud now.  Skip the lecture they don't work.  Skip the questions.  I like the idea of having him plant himself somewhere that isn't fun or entertaining, and have him sit there for a while.  Also there would be no nicey nicey from me.  His basic needs would be met but no extras until he started showing respect.  [/quote]
