Many parents complain about the disrespect of their children. Speech with sarcasm, the presence of bad manners, swearing and brash behavior can be frustrating and difficult to handle. What can we do about it?

Disrespectful behavior of children can be due to various factors:.

•disappointment with limitations and a desire to test them;

•copying the behavior of other people;

• the realization that disrespect causes a reaction: laughter, screaming, shock - in any case, this is attention;

•feeling that they are being treated unfairly or not being listened to. In particular, this may be the case in the case of feedback or slurred comments..

How to respond to disrespectful behavior:.

• Ignore minor disrespectful behavior such as swearing or pouting.. Say "

•If the behavior is more offensive or rude, you can use the naughty step technique.. Before you lead a child to be naughty, make sure you give one warning, clearly stating why this behavior is disrespectful and unacceptable.. For example, "

• When your child is being rude, don't laugh as this will get him positive attention and encourage him to keep being rude..

Instead, take your child aside, describe the behavior you disapprove of, and make recommendations on how to prevent disrespectful behavior..

Children learn to respond appropriately by observing and imitating those around them.. It's called modeling. The most effective way to get your child to behave respectfully is to treat them with respect and also let them see how you treat other people with respect.. Remember that actions speak louder than words.

•Tell your child what behavior is unacceptable by including respectful behavior in your house rules..

•Teach your child social manners by constantly reminding them of proper communication and behavior. When adults provide clear information about appropriate behavior, children learn what is expected of them.. For example, " People love it when you do it"

•Pay close attention to your tone of voice, words, and body language, not only with your child, but with everyone around you.. If your child hears you belittle, make snide comments, use sarcasm, swear or yell, or see you roll your eyes or make faces at people, you are not showing respect.. Be polite, courteous, attentive and well-mannered, and you will soon see this attitude of your child..

•Make sure you use good manners and a respectful tone when correcting disrespectful behavior. State your disapproval firmly by commenting descriptively and meeting expectations. Tell your child what you want, not what you don't want. Instead of saying \! " I don't like this behavior. If you're upset, let me know directly."

•Make sure you respond positively to good behavior. When the baby behaves well, respond with praise, approval and love.. Every time your child uses the type of mannerisms and behavior you want, comment approvingly.

•Watch your child's type of communication. Cursing on TV, negative attitudes towards video games, and even disrespectful lyrics in music can be consumed by your child and can affect their vocabulary and behavior.

•Make sure you listen to your child and allow him to express his opinion or share his feelings.. A child who feels he is being listened to is less likely to have the last word.

Aggression often comes with your toddler's resentment at being asked to do something they don't want to do.. Or because he doesn't get his way. Minimize this frustration by using minimal, clear commands (avoid long lectures) and offering choices. \?
