[QUOTE="keista, post: 509646, member: 11965"] Here's a 'DUH' question and it may have a 'DUH' answer, but here I go: Are you giving/teaching him substitute reactions? I promise you, I forget this all the time and have to remind myself to give my kids a correct or better response. One thing I've always tried to do is use positive language when I correct them. Instead of saying "That was rude" - a negative reprimand with no opening for correction - I strive to say "That was an inappropriate response. Try saying ______" That way I'm not trying to kibosh negativity with more negativity. [/QUOTE]
