[QUOTE="jamrobmic, post: 23973, member: 1412"] I agree with Busywend. My son wasn't a problem in this area until he was in his midteens, so I don't know what I would have done if it had been a problem when he was younger. However, at 15 & 16, I could dole out consequences until I was blue in the face, and he would continue to escalate (his name-calling was reserved for times he was out of control anyway, so yes, I think they know what they're doing, but I don't think they can stop themselves at the time, any more than they can stop themselves from any other behavior they exhibit while raging). He also wouldn't comply with whatever consequences I came up with, and I think if you give out a consequence you can't enforce, it convinces them they really ARE in charge. These days my son has pretty much quit calling me names. (P.S. I liked to imagine knocking mine through a wall when he was doing his thing). [/QUOTE]
