[QUOTE="Janna, post: 23936, member: 2737"] I have a feeling, having not much experience with this, but once it starts and the child gets the reaction, and it continues, you're probably pretty much up sh*t's creek without a paddle, unless you're going to get military style and start setting some hard consequences in place for the verbal abuse (which, knowingly or not, is what it is). Someone else mentioned (I think Janet) she consequenced for it. In full truth, I would not tolerate it. I wouldn't sit back and ignore it, but my children would be severely consequenced for it. It doesn't matter to me (just talking about me now) if what is coming out of a difficult child's mouth is because they "can't help it". I personally do not believe if your child calls you an f'ing b, they don't know what they're saying. I would start making difficult child write apology notes every time he says something negative. Write 100 times, "I will not call my mom _____". Time in the room. Reading a book at the table. Washing dishes. "Oh, you think I'm an f'ing b? Well here, take this vacuum and get to work, I'll show you what an f'ing b I can be". Your difficult child is entirely too young for you to sit back and ignore this. I would absolutely, positively not. Just my .02 - worth what you paid for it (and I really am sorry you're going through it). Janna [/QUOTE]
