[QUOTE="Andy, post: 240121, member: 5096"] You are correct. This is a HUGE issue. We have seen it in our home also. I believe left unaddressed will lead a child to learn to use that excuse for everything. When it started in our home, I would be very up front about it, "No, you were not kidding and that is not acceptable." Whenever you say or do ANYTHING that can be seen as mean and hurtful, you have to suffer the consequences" "We do not hurt others when we kid around and you are old enough to know when something is wrong to do." If my child tries to convince me otherwise, "Mom, I was just kidding!" then I reply, "It did not look or sound like you were kidding." and follow through with whatever discipline is called for. Kids have to learn that even kidding and having fun has boundaries. Your therapist should address every single issue that you bring up. If he/she does not believe it is important, than he/she should be meeting with you in private to obtain more information as to why you think it is a problem or to explain to you why he/she doesn't think it is.
