[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 519082, member: 1550"] You have to remember...."normal" child vs. difficult child. Even a typical child will sometimes be rude, but they don't tend to repeat it too much after there is a consequence (until those teen years). It is a good idea to have different expectations of your child. Every time you get too angry over it, it is an exercise in futility and minutes of your own life that you can't get back. Growing up in the US, where, in many homes, kids do talk back and get rude (and it happened in our house), I just kind of roll my eyes and walk away from that sort of talk. The kids get no rise out of me and no attention for that (when they are little). Consider this a practice for those teenage years :) Trust me, you can not shake them or stop them when they are fifteen and arguing over whether they can go out with their friends or not! If engaging him doesn't work, why waste your time? Why not try ignoring him, no matter how much he jumps up and down. will he stay in his room if you put him there? That's good too. Usually they get tired of being there and calm down on their own. I have never been Miss Perfect Parent, but one thing I was able to do was to stay calm while my kids were throwing tantrums. Sonic was especially challening. He would BITE me! To the best of my ability, I would carry him, kicking, screaming, trying to bite me, acting like I was killing him...to his room. After throwing his pillow at the door a few times (we had all his heavy items removed), he would calm down. He seemed to need time alone to calm down... [/QUOTE]
