One day, moms and dads suddenly realize that their sweet child has grown up or is starting to grow at an accelerated rate.
This usually happens after parents, in response to their legal demand, hear a rather primitive and even rude answer that the child refuses to do this.
Experts have explained what to do and whether it is worth declaring a boycott of the child in such a situation.
If a teenager is rude
1. This is definitely a provocation that should be ignored. He is deliberately violating all boundaries and doing everything in defiance.
If you explode, you can be sure that tomorrow at school or in the yard he will brag about how he raised your blood pressure. So keep your composure.
2. If you encounter rudeness, do not insist and postpone the conversation to a better time. Do not remain indifferent, do not show unnecessary emotions, do not take the situation to heart.
3. Remember that the weak and defenseless are often the first to attack. Think about what actions your child can expect approval for, what he was denied, find the reason for his behavior.
4. You need to show by personal example how to get out of such situations with a cool head and clean hands, i.e. without resorting to personal attacks.
5. Don't remind your child of this in the future when he or she tries to reconcile. Otherwise, you risk becoming another vindictive and toxic adult in his or her eyes.
