[QUOTE="Adrift, post: 108388, member: 2158"] I have no answers, just understanding. My difficult child is Hispanic and says really awful things. The latest is the use of the word gay. He has many personal experiences and friendships with both gay and lesbian family friends and I know he values them but refuses to understand how they might feel if they hear him!! His excuse is that it's not what he means. Makes me crazy...we've chosen to ignore it completely. I'm not sure if that's right but it's my hope that when he grows up a bit the neurons will connect. Any kind of punishment, incentive to stop, reaction, conversation only makes it worse. I think we've actually made it worse by all that we've tried. UGH...please, just let them be human occaisionally!! [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
