When they talk back, you say nothing - just turn and walk away. Then you wait for them to want something from you (which we KNOW won't be more than three minutes!!!), and your answer is a simple no. No matter what it is. When they freak out and ask why, you tell them you didn't like the way they spoke to you earlier, so you don't feel like doing anything for them now. They will probably apologize and then you can forgive them, but they still don't get what it was they wanted. "I am your mother, not your slave. And I deserve your respect." After this happens three or four times, most kids get it: if I talk back to my parents, I don't get anything from them. And we know EVERYTHING they have comes from us. So, it seems like it would work to me! <br /><br />Hope that might help! Here's hoping you have a much better month of March!!!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039870643498584920noreply@blogger.com
