[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 438057"] What do you do/say when he does speak to you rudely? Do you point out that he did it and that you won't tolerate it or do you ignore it and walk away? Do YOU think you let things slide too much? Even "normal" kids are called on their behavior but discipline for the behaviors vary from person to person. I realize he is just a young boy but his inappropriate behavior should still be pointed out to him immediately so he learns what is acceptable and what is not. There is no such thing as "boys will be boys". I get much criticism from my family about the way I discipline difficult child. Because he is on the spectrum, I find I spend more time teaching than punishing. Punishment is saved for more severe situations. It never hurts to rethink what we are doing and evaluate whether it's working or not. It's called trial and error and we all do it. There is no "right" way to do it. Don't be too hard on yourself but maybe rethink what you are doing. If what you're doing is working to improve J's behavior, then you're doing fine. If what you're doing isn't making anything better, maybe it's time to try something else. [/QUOTE]
