[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take ownership. You are the problem, not your son. You even provide an example of how he is clearly mirroring the behavior he is being exposed to by you. You deserve the coal. I truly feel sorry for your son. He got a raw deal in the parent arena. [/quote] +1 The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. He's learning disrespectful behavior at home. If my 8 yr old acted this way - I would embarrassed and appalled - he would lose Christmas. Period. Are you getting notes from school that he treats his classmates disrespectful? Huge wake up call. [/quote] Taking away Christmas doesn't teach the child anything. Punishment isn't going to teach this child to respect you. It just teaches them to resent you and to resent the rules. The only way to teach a child to behave in a positive way is to catch them being good and reward good behavior. Even if you are just praising their good behavior, it makes a huge difference. [/quote]
