[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay kind and loving. "I'm sorry you feel that way, I love you". Ride it out. Make sure you're spending quality time doing something with your kid that the kid enjoys. 13 year old hormones are insane.[/quote] +1 Say "I love you. I love you even when you are mad at me." and then walk away. If he insists on continuing to talk in ugly and unpleasant ways, send him to his room. You don't have to give him attention when he is acting like an asshole. Make sure that you catch him being good and reinforce his good behavior and pleasant moments with praise -- "Thanks for taking out the trash without complaining! That was really mature and grown up of you! I know you don't like doing it, but you did it without complaining, like a grown up." There are lots of moments when I have to say silently to myself "I forgive you for being 13."[/quote]
