Negative attitudes can be hard to deal with, especially when they’re coming from your own child. We’ve got some ways to help you cope with your child’s behavior.
- Check your own behavior and attitude. Your children may be mirroring you.
- Allow your children to experience the natural consequences of their attitude.
- Take advantage of teachable moments.
- Recognize them when they have a positive attitude.
- Challenge negative comments by inviting them to express how they feel again in a respectful manner.
