[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 32896, member: 1991"] difficult child 1 often gets words wrong. It's like he has his own definitions that he's worked out for himself. In a situation like that, I always ask, "Please explain. In what way was I threatening you? I don't understand." Then I might give him the correct word. "Honey, I wasn't threatening you, I was bugging you. And I was bugging you to do those things because it's my job as parent to help you learn to look after yourself." We also write the list of things on a small blackboard, for difficult child 3 to tick off as he deals with each one. Then instead of nagging/threatening/pestering/bugging, I just point to the board.
