[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Discipline begins at birth not when kid is 8.5 yrs. Old.  By discipline. I mean you learn to say "no," "NO."  tone of voice depends on what kid is doing.  You, OP, allowed disrespect all these years or he wouldn't be acting like this now.[/quote]

This is crazy!

Kids push boundaries, it's what they do. Adults model good behavior and teach coping skills.

Most PP sound so egotistical and self-absorbed-- respect, respect, respect.  All kids need to learn how to handle frustration and the negative feelings that come with it. Simply banning them or banishing them does not teach them these skills. It may feel good, sounds like a bit of a power trip, but when my 8yp talks back or is rude, I point it out and give her a chance to rectify the situation.

Rude to you and no playdates or favorite foods for a week? What a nut job.

A lot of kids need to learn that their words and gestures can hurt. You should teach them this.

Is this like that "conscious disciplining" in that other thread?

Yes, as parents, we should all teach our kids to handle frustration, but that doesn't mean you don't punish kids for misbehaving.   Not all kids respond well to "talking" therapy.  Sometimes, some kids need both - the talking to and the punishment.  Do you think these parents haven't tried to teach their kids that "words and gestures" hurt?  Newsflash:  they don't care!   The eye-rolling is about disrespect.  When a kid rolls their eyes at the parent when the parent says something it's because the kid thinks that what the parent said is stupid.  That needs to stop.  It is disrespectful to the parent.[/quote]
