[quote=Anonymous]1. Apologize for the physical threat and whatever else you did or said that you are not proud of. 2. You never beg your child to talk to you. Be the parent. 3. Natural consequences: - He can't ask you to drive him to soccer if he's not talking to you, so no soccer. Or you could just say that you don't particularly enjoy driving people who aren't talking with you, so no trips to unnecessary places - His behavior - both the tantrum and the silent treatment (which is really a quieter form of a tantrum) show that he can't handle a phone. So no phone. - etc. Make sure you articulate all of this so he knows which behavior is not acceptable. Longer term, he needs to be taught appropriate ways to handle frustration, not the silent treatment. [/quote]
