[quote=Anonymous]Some posters here just sound mean. Ok, first, in our house, things can be described as "stupid" but not people. So I tell my 6 yo DS a choice can be stupid, but not your mom or brother. This might help depersonalize the situation, as you really don't want a child insulting you or anyone else around. Second, you need a natural consequence for this. When my DC hurt my feelings, I expect an apology and I explain that I would like some time by myself without the insulter. In our house this second thing is what usually gets the DS to shape up. Kids can't go very long before they need your help. This is usually when I explain that my feelings are hurt and people don't enjoy being around someone who insults them.[/quote]
