[quote=Anonymous]My 12 year old son is on screens too much, so no judgement from me on that. In terms of the silent treatment, that's one of my son's favorites right now. I used to engage him, and now I just ignore him. Eventually he realizes that there's no pay off from the behavior, and he knocks it off. however, I do think this is an opportunity for you to show him how to own mistakes. Threatening to slap him was out of line, but you can apologize to him about it. I have to apologize to my son sometimes, and I hope I'm modeling accountability. I've said, "I was out of line when I did x, y, or z. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I hope you can forgive me. How could we handle a conflict better next time?" For a 12 year old my kid is super reflective because we model it for him. [/quote]
