[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 380531, member: 1991"] We also walk away if we must. We stay calm, we do not engage, we above all else do not shout back. These kids need to be shown respect (even when they don't show you respect - you have to set the example) before they can learn what they should be doing. You do not have to accept lack of respect, but not accepting it does not mean throwing it back in their faces. That is disrespectful to them, and 'allows' the child to continue to be disrespectful to you. Instead, quietly remove yourself and also remove your services (other than the necessary basics) until you are shown respect. You may need to work towards the level of respect you want. But the phrase we use a lot, and it works for us, is to quietly say, "I am not shouting at you/disrespecting you, please do not do it to me." Then walk away. Marg [/QUOTE]
