Today, parenting can be a difficult thing to handle in this new era. But when your request to do something comes with a sudden silence, eye rolling or shoulder shrugging... you can find yourself caught in between a quarrel.
Why do kids nowadays talk back? Often they do it to get attention, to test their skills at arguing or try to overpower their parents even friends or teachers. For instances, when they use words that are strong to make others angry which will make the kids feel like they have more POWER.
Not all rude behaviors are considered as an act of defiance. Children are bound to be disappointed if whatever they want clashes with rejection from parents. You should expect some kind of grumbling when telling to your child.
The following strategies can help to minimize your child tendency to talk back
- Children are more likely to show respect when you treat them and others respectfully.
- Be tolerant of statements like "I hate green beans". Encourage him/her to convey their disliking
- Try to spend time with your kids when watching TV shows
- Whenever your child words and tone are not acceptable, give a clear or immediate message like this is not done in our family and all are respected equally.
- When a child gets angry or frustrated or disappointed, explain that disrespectful behavior or language can make a person feel attacked or angry. Just calmly tell him/her that it hurts your feeling as parents
The more you communicate and spend time with your kid’s activities or whatever they do will minimize the talk back attitude which will create love bondage.
