I've been reading alot of threads regarding disciplining our children.
Well I want ot recommend a book that I found very enlightening.
Don't give me that Attitude
by Michele Borba ed.D
We all talk about wanting children to be more respectful and show empathy. Well This book talks about how to address this. I love it! I have a 10 yr old who loves to joke around and makes very witty comments. Unfortunately she is not at the age where she understands when it is appropriate to do this. Sometimes she says things that make my eyes buldge lol. Well this book has a section entirely on that lol. Using the steps in the book I have managed to help her realize how to assess a situation and to understand when it is appropriate to tease.
(Honestly I never really thaught we had an issue until others brought it to my attention) I'm sure other parents can benefit from this book. There are 24 different behaviors this book addresses.
